The other bill will provide for the abolishment of the board of prison inspectors and the board of poor directors and placing both jail and County Home directly under the supervision of the county commissioners. He favors the Jail removal first on the score of economy," and sec ondly because its removal will make possible the use of the structure In City Park for other purposes.

Will Bring Big Price. Mr. Eaches advocates concentration of jail and almshouse under one roof. His plan is to sell 400 of the present 514 acres of the county farm, which he believes would bring at least $1,000 an acre If cut up into building lots. The $400,000 thus derived, he says, would be sufficient to erect a modern building, suitable to house under one roof the county's poor and also the county's prisoners.

This, he points out, would result In an enormous annual saving. "I am glad that interest is being taken in the project to remove the jail from City Park," said Mr. Eaches. "I always have favored the establishment of the Jail In some other location. Now that I am a commissioner, I feel this need more keenly, largely because of the extravagant manner In which both jail and almshouse are conducted.

"At the almshouse there are 514 acres of land. Of this about 100 acres Is woodland. Fully 400 acres of this land should be sold. It might be sold to the city for park purposes, or could be broken Into building lots and sold. In any event the land Is very valuable and should net the county at least $1,000 an acre.
