the building not to be "hreproof"
as Commissioner Sutton had
described it. He discovered the
stairway in the building and the
rear staircases were narrow, zig
gag and constructed of wood. Satur-
day The Times pointed out the fact
that two persons could not descend
the rear stairs at one time. Carey
told Montgomery that the "fire

Carey said the matter would be

Edwards Made Deal
The commissioners contracted with
James Edwards, council member and
member Of the real estate firm, Ed.
wards & Edwards, to pay $3.50

present the rental Of the home is

Following the visit Saturday,
Judge Lair declared the place was
unsuitable" He pointed out that
each of the apartments, containing
six rooms, were not large enough TO
house the children.
There are no large rooms except
front ones IN each apartment" he
stated. There is no room large
enough for a dining hall that could
be supervised by one person."
Snider said the proper move would
be to retain the present building UNI
til a new structure is erected. Hogle
and Sutton promised Judge Lahr
that a new downtown detention
home will be erected within year.

Records kept in Commissioner
Turnage's office show that during
the past year, there have been but
two seizures of what is regarded
as good liquor. The rest is corn,
colored and uncolored. Your so.
called Scotch and Rye is that in
name only, he declares.
In the two instances cited. one
shipment was of several hundred
quarts of choice imported liquor,
which oddly enough had to be re-
turned because of the illegality of
the seizure, and the other seizure
was six quarts of pre-war stuff.
For the latter lot, the prohibition
agents paid Ss per half pint for the
evidence.
The 7s4 to odds are based on
the fact that since last Christmas
total of 1859 warrants have been
issued by Commissioner Turnase.
and of this lot but two evidences of
good liquor were found. In addi-
ton to the 1859 liquor warrants
there were 100 drug removals, and
