by the Grah4 Jury in items 2, 3, and^t '
of its presentment af the- term of J
September 29, 1926, as follows:
"We have very carefully investigat- 1
ed the condifiohs of this public build- I*
ing, and flpd that the white and color- *
ed prisoners therein have not been and *
cannot be kept!, separate; that the :
.'structure is decayed dilapidated |l
so that it is almost impossible to keep '
in proper sanitary condition; , that
in the event of fire in the Jail building,
it would be extremely difficult, if 8
"'no^Jmposaible, to sajte-the prisoners J
iffcrein.from destruction.- Those and '
other similar conditions made-*lt
cessary for UT To recommend, in tha i1
_ intejfst; of health and safety, the, fni* tj
Jowtmr -r- ,tj
remodeled. .*o that white and colored,
njdn and women prisoners may be kept'
separate, as provided, by law, and so:
that the sanitary conditions may not J
invito Op SUdW epidemics of disease,
and so that dah/fer to the life of pris- 1
oners by fire may be reduced to a minimum.
In this connection, we furtKe^/
" recommend t-hat a heating: systeml^a

et? Jail be installed. To the ofid that ~
| the County Jail maybe remodeled and
