Spotsy|vania Admits Need
To Replace Cenfury-0Id Jail

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FREDERICKSBURG. Va, Feb. II.
Answering charge made by
James v. Bennett, director of the
Federal Bureau of Prisons, which
branded the Spotsylvania County
Jail as one Of the five worst" jails
in the country, Spotsylvania officials
yesterday admitted that it was high
time the 100-year-old structure was
replaced.
However, county officials are
doubtful that the Jail is among the
five worst" such institutions, but
they readily admit that it isn't of
the best.
When the cold air of winter whips
through the structure, officials have
to worry about the water pipes
freezing, and the prisoners have to
keep themselves warm by building
their own fire in a stove which isn't
too practical even when going at full
blast.
The county's officials point to the
fact that Spotsylvania schools, it's
courthouse and clerks Office rank
topmost among Virginia counties.
