tgrounds are kept shipshape and
1tidy. The Jail yard is nicely

| the property is old and should be
torn down, new one erected. 1t
Is an eyesore.

we'd have to have pumper and
a complete fire department of II
Ito Is men," the man said. "Then
we'd have to hire captain and
"a lieutenant. Then we would
have to hire cleaning crew. It
|wouldS cost us about $4,000 a
month to operate the field"
Il suppose you have no objec-
ton TO the county taking on all
