1--WE found the condition of the
Jail not in very good shape, partic-
ularly the toilets, as they were badly
in need Of repair, and recommend
that something be done to remedy
the situation, as we found no toilet
whatever for female prisoners.
"The ventilation we found very
poor, and would recommend that
the ventilator at the top of the Jail
be so repaired for proper ventilation.
The floor of the Jail we find in very
bad shape, and would also recon-

installed. We also found that the
walls need pointing around the win-

jail yard be cleaned up.

House Is In most deplorable condi-
