McRue To Remodel City Jail

Informal bids were received by the City Council Thursday evening on the remodeling of the cells in the city jail. Of the two bids submitted, that of McRae Concrete Products, being the lowest, was awarded the contract to amount to $346.O0 for the concrete work. Iron grill, door and hunks are to be speci- ally made. The work is being done on specifications by Police Chief Leonard Clark.
 It became necessary to re- model the jail cells after a par ticularly heavy-fisted Eskimo went berserk and decided to leave the jail house few weeks ago. This man ripped out the angle iron support of the bunk bed with his bare hands and pro- ceeded to demolish the jail.
 His single handed campaign of destruction was so effective that he was subdued with difficulty and the help of tear gas. It was clearly evident, however, that some different arrangement of quarters in the jail is necessary, so as to confine such a charac- ter solidarity and safely. The new cells will be modern and strong.

 The company had been asked to show proof of intention to rehabilitate the system or en- large the supply.

 When MT. DeLoughery was asked if they wished to have their legal representative pres ent, he replied that they have. none, that they can not think of any one Who could represent the company. He was instructed by the City Attorney, that it is perfectly legal to appoint one of th m selve s, either Mrs. Thorne or DeLoughery; this they refused or failed to do.
 The firm of Hummer, Arnell and Mclaughlin, attorneys, reg ularly appointed attorneys for the City of Seward, was repre- sented in the meeting by Geo. Mclaughlin. He was instructed by the council that if in three days, or by Tuesday morning, May 25, the Water Company has not signified their intention to comply with the terms of the franchise by appointing a member to the board of apprais- CTS, the attorney is to institute suit for condemnation of the system, which will then be ac- quired by the City of Seward.
