At Wednesday's meeting of the Sup- orvisoiis u. special committee recom mended additional court rooms to care for the new part of Supreme Court and special term, new quarters for the Surrogate, the District Attorney and the Law Library and recommend ed also that a committee be appoint ed to consider enlarging or re-build ing the old part of the Court house. With all this to be done the Sup ervisors have gone along carefully to avoid a large expenditure of money unnecessarily,-\ concluded Mr. Bar rett. Sheriff Doyle later said the condi tions In tire jail, tne management of which has been commended time af ter time by state Inspectors, led him to urge a county penitentiary several m.onths ago. He said also that It re called that he had also suggested that .If the penitentiary was built tuie pres ent jail could be used for additional court rooms'.and quarters for the sheriff's and,\district attorney's forces.

Of the women, three were -serving Bcntenco, one was a witness, and live were awaiting trial. \The place was found clean and well managed. Since my last inspec tion a vacuum cleaner has been in stalled, which facilitates the keeping of the jail clean They are at pres ent installing facilities for furnishing hot water in each cell. \The jail la overcrowded most of the time, caused in part by its being used by the Village of White Plains as a lockup. The use of the Jail for this purpose should be discontinued and a separate building provided for the police, as--formerly recommended by the State Commission of-Prisons. There are accommodations for 129 prisoners, and as many as 15fi have been confined there at one time. This necessitates putting two men in the- same cell, which needs no explana tion to say that it menaces botn the health and morals of the inmates. \Sheriff Doyle -stated that the re ception at all hours of the night of drunken and boisterous persona la most serious, causing disorder and discomfort among the inmates, as of ten they are raving witn drunken de lirium, awakening the other prisoners with -hideous yells arid curses and tax ing the guards to the utmost .to pacify those whose sleep has been, disturbed. He also added that the structure was erected In 1S55 and has obsolete sani tary arrangements, and is-not suffi ciently large for the- county, all of which has been previously brought to the attention of the proper auth orities. . ^. ^ \As tliere has been no apparent at tempt on the part of the eounty 'auth orities to increase the size oil'the jail. of farm conditions, and the 'greafeSV , 1M not want t0 keep accounty> stumbling block found is the inabU- da , n wou]{] a „ g0 out of buej . ity to secure farm records of .njiy ^to-J portance.
