Plans Released
For New Building
AT Prison Farm

London is to be the permanent
home of the State Bureau of Grim
inal Investigation, according to an
announcement by the Division of
Correction, Department of Mental
Hygiene, Monday The $3.50. 900
structure will be completed during
the year and will be located near
the present main building at the
farm. The Bureau will continue as
part of the physical layout of the
prison farm but will now be out
side the wall" The bureaus pres
ent location is now in the basement
of the administration building.
Much controversy proceeded the
actual decision to locate the new
building here At first, it was plan
ned that the entire bureau be NOV
ed to Columbus but the efforts of
great number of interested persons
combined with the aid of London
newspapers apparently helped to
keep the bureau here. About fifty
persons are employed by the bu-
reau and it is expected that addi-
tional local employment will be
forthcoming after the new struc-
ture is completed. Prison labor is
now used in the bureau but it is
planned that civilian help will be
employed in the future.
The Bureau of Identification,
headed by Superintendent, Hugh L.
Leggett, provides multiple services
to sheriffs, police departments,
federal officials and other law en-
forcement agencies. The Bureau
houses 2,5OO,OOO fingerprint rec
ords now or file along with other
criminal records. The Bureau
maintains a mobile crime labora-
tory as we'll
Aiding in the planning of the
new building were William E.
Cashin, director of the New York
Division of Criminal Identification,
as well as r. w. Nebergall direc-
tor of the Iowa State Bureau.
The new building will contain
three technical laboratories, Of
fices, interrogation rooms, security
file room, as well as kitchen and
bunk room for visiting officials.
Classrooms, lounge and rest rooms
complete the plan. 1t was pointed
out that the building will have ade-
quate room for expansion as well
as being functional in order that
additional construction may be
made with a minimum of expense.
The project will be financed with
funds appropriated by the General
Assembly from the $50, ,000, 900
bond issue recently approved by
Ohio voters.

returned twenty-three indictments
out of thirty-wo cases examined,
according to a report filed Wednes-
day afternoon. They heard forty
five witnesses and ignored nine
cases which had been presented

ers in the sheriff's residence and

Safety Campaign j.
To Be Sparked By
Business Women

London's Business and Profess
sional Women will act as the steer
ing committee to organize a Coun-
ty-wide program to step up safety
on the streets and highways, ac-
cording to an announcement made
this week at special meeting of
the group by Mrs. Howard Thomp-
son, president of the organization.
The meeting featured traffic en-
forcement officers from all levels.
and permitted them to explain the
operation of traffic laws and regu-
lations. Members of the panel of
officers were Patrolman AL Monas,
Service-Safety Director George E.
Wickline, Chief of Police German
Clark and David A. Mullin, De-
partment of Highway Safety.
The entire safety program to be
promoted by the final working
committee of the organization will
base their procedure on Educa-
ton, Engineering and Enforce
ment. 1t was brought out in the
discussion that each particular in
dividual in each community will
have an important part to play in
any safety program.
The panel emphasized that
schools, cities, villages and homes
will play a part in the program as
important as any officer or organ
ization will play. They stressed
that such a program can be sue
cessful only if the entire commu-
nifty pitches in" and works for the
full success of the idea.
All officials will be asked to CO.
operate with the operating COM
mittee in both municipalities and
rural areas. The proposed group
will be working with both police
and fire department officers as
well as clubs and individuals.
On the engineering side it was
pointed out that different parking
methods and wider traffic lanes in
some areas could do much to stop
the accident potential, but it was
emphasized that the entire pro-
gram must proceed as one group,
with all agencies and individuals
carrying their part of the load.
The organitional meeting was
under the direction of the B.P.W.
Health and Safety Committee COM
posed of Miss Ruth Anne Tull,
Mrs. Edward Flynn, Miss Dell
Chambers and Mrs. Wayne Tyler.
