COUNTY BOARD APPROVES Plan
TO BUILD JAIL AT NESPEI .EM
Commissioners Tell Local Men
That Emergency Conditions
Warrant County Aid
Time Not Decided
Believe Work Should Be Done
Now But Board Members
May Await New Budget

Okanogan county commissioners
Monday assured representatives
from Nespelem that the county
would make arrangements to fl
nance construction of Jail at this
community, explaining that they be-
lieved emergency conditions that
have arisen recently warranted
construction of adequate facilities
for law violatcrs.
M. S. Parmeter and Harold
Churchill, members of a Nespelem
Commercial club committee, declar-
ed that growth and development OF
the community and changing con-
ditions following the start of work
on the Grand Coulee dam, made
Jail essential. They also urged that
the county cooperate in giving the
community full time law enforce
ment.
Tentative plans, outlined by the
Nespelem spokesman, called for the
expenditure of about $500 on the
Jail. Because no provision for the
work was included in this years
county budget, the commissioners
indicated that little could be done
on the project until after the first
of the year.
Delay Would Boost Cost
Mr.. Parmeter explained to the
commissioners that delayed con-
struction would undoubtedly cost
the county more money in the end.
He said that at present the county
sheriff is expanding approximately
$25 of his budget monthly to police
Nespelem, and that indications are
this amount will be steadily in
creased in order to meet changing
conditions.
The need for a Jail before snow
makes policing from the sheriff's
office impossible, also was stressed
by Mr. Par1neter and Mr.. Churchill.
j. r. Laycock, commissioner for
this district, stated that he believed
a jail was necessary, an opinion con-
CURED in by d. S. Gamble and L.
S. Farver, other members of the
board.
Nespelem spokesman informed the
commissioners that tentative plans
called for construction of the Jail at
the end of an unused street near the
Under & OFT store.
