CITY JAIL PLANS HELD IN ABEYANCE Administration Decides To Wait Until After Elections Because of Cost COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGREE TO HOUSE WOMEN Arrangements For Female Prisoners Removes Urgent Necessity For Immediate Action and New Plans Call For Fitting Up Third Floor of City Building Plans for remodelling and enlarging the present city jail have been abandoned by the City Commissioners in favor of more elaborate arrangements for utilizing the third floor of the City Hall, which is now 8 On account of the large expenditures involved by the new plans they will be deferred until after the approaching city elections. The latest decision of the commissioners was reached following definite assurance yesterday from Wake County Commissioners that the county jail may be used for women prisoners from the city until the city can make adequate provision for their comfort. Mayor Eldridge yesterday notified officials of the Woman's Club, who have been active in a movement for better jail facilities, of the present status of the matter. Sometime ago permission was ex tended for the city to use the county jail for women prisoners by the county commissioners but county officials balked at the plan and it was never put- into operation. Yesterday Mayor Eldridge Commissioner Mooneyham conferred with ty commissioners and with Sheriff D.

B. Harrison and it was agreed that the county jail should be used, with the city paying all necessary expenses, including clothing for its prisoners. Following failure to secure the county jail, plains were made for enlarging the present 'jail on the second floor of the City Hall by moving the desk sergeant's office into the hall. However, it has been decided that there is not sufficient room on the second floor of the jail and present plans contemplate the use of. the entire third floor, which has a pitch of about 15 feet but is entriely lacking in light and ventilation.

Since it will require a considerable sump to light, ventilate, heat and supply plumbing for the third floor of the building and a bond issue will probably be required Mayor Eldridge stated yesterday that he thought the proposition should be deferred until after the elections, in fairness to the new tion should there be a change. Plans for installing shower baths in the present jail have also been abandoned because they would consume space that is badly needed for prisoners. However, a plumber has been engaged with orders to install additional water connections in the jail immediately. Mayor's Letter to Women Mayor Eldridge's letter of yesterday, which was addressed to Mrs. W.

T. Bost, president of the Woman's Club; Miss Mary Shotwell, chairman of the social service department; and Mrs. T. P. Harrison, chairman of the jail committee, follows: "Regretting the unavoidable delay in responding your recent letter making representations in regard to the city jail, I have the honor of replying as follows: 41.

An arrangement has been made for confining the women prisoners in the county jail until the eity jail can provide proper accomodations. Privacy will be assured, bathing facilities furnished, and change of clothing provided, at the expense of the city, when deemed necessary. 449. Plans will be made to utilize the third floor of the Municipal Building as a city prison. A room nearly as large as the present jail, the police court, the police station and adjacent offices combined is available for Sail purposes.

This room is unfinished, unlighted, and is not ventilated.

The tentative plan for rea arrangement of the second floor so as to provide separate cells with Baths and privacy, for women prisoners, was unsatisfactory to me and was considered only as a makeshift. I am indebted to an architect for a suggestion that led me to discard the second plan.

The architeet has been requested to make a preliminary sketch. A plumber has been employed to improve sanitary conditions in present jail. talm 45. It is true that the commissioners have authority to money on the credit of the city, subject the limitations of two and-fast conditions, viz: That the amount borrowed shall be within the limits of the timated revenue for the current fiscal year, and be payable out of taxes levied and collectible during the fiscal year. shall That, anticipation of bonds the amount borrowed authorized by ordinance before the loan is negotiated.

"Clearly the first. alternative is impossible for the purpose under discussion, for the reason that, the budget system, the entire income of the city is appropriated when the tax is levied. "The second is workable until the city's borrowing reaches the limit fixed by law; but it is inconsistent with prudent management of municipal finances to issue bonds whenever it is suggested to spend money for purpose not authorized in regular course. "It is a source of gratification to me that work on the proposed jail improvements was not hastened while a better plan was being work; dout. Of course I take no pleasure in the conditions of the Woman's Club justly complains, but to me it seems better, to go slow and be sure than make haste with mistakes.

I now feel assured that the proposed solution of our problem will produce results which all may contemplate with satisfaction. The temporary arrangement for the care of women prisoners appears to me the best possible under the circumstances."

Washington, D.C. MR. DANIEL WAS WELL CARED FOR IN NORFOLK Report That He Was Neglected Turns Out To Have Been Erroneous The News and Observer is in receipt of the following from Dr. R. T.

Vann: "At the request of Mrs. Walter E. Daniel, I beg to correct an impression made by the news dispatch in the Observer a few days ago concerning her husband's seizure on the streets of Norfolk and the treatment he received thereafter. Daniel writes that instead of lying on the street for an anknown period, and then being placed in a hospitaal ward and kept there in comparative neglect for fortyeight hours, Mr. Daniel was seen to fall by a policeman, who hastened to him, promptly summoned the city ambulance, and took him to the hospital without unnecessary delay; that while the policeman did not recognize the patient, he saw that he was a gentleman, had him placed in a nice room, removed and deposited his watch and purse, and secured such attention and service for him as were entirely satisfactory to both the physicians and the policeman called Mr.

Daniel's hotel, the Monticello, supposing that the family thus be notified; but the proprietor was out, and the night clerk, probably a new man and knowing Mr. Daniel, failed to inform the proprietor. When, however, none of Mr. Daniel's friends called or inquired about him during the next thirty-six hours, the chief of police called up Weldon chief, and thus reached the family. While this delay was unfortunate, no one is blamed for it.
