Arlington Jail For
Scrap

J. A. Lippincott, mayor of Airing

seemed impossible to place the arch
criminals, Hitler and Hirohito, in
Jail so the council decided to send
the jail to these fellows.
The jail consisted of two cells,
each capable of holding one man
but it had been unused for long
time. The cells were located in a
room in the city hall which was
needed for civilian defense purposes.
The metal derived from the cells
was placed in the scrap pile of the
county with the blessings of the
Arlington council.
