I SELECT JAIL SITE KICKS BEGIN AT ONCE New East Side Prison Pro- , ject in Same Category : 1 With Crematory. Members of the way and mean cora-t mltte of the city council paid little heed to the recommendation of Tbomaa O. Qreen and Chief of Police Grlts maoher in selecting a alt for the pro posed new east aide city jail yesterday, when they selected the property owned by. William Reldt. at East Eighth and Hancock streets, for the naw structure. The price to be paid la $3,000 and the property covera one half block. Mr. Greene. R. Ia Babln and D. U. Donaugh, membera of the police com mittee of the city executive board, to gether with Chief of Police Urltamacher, recommended a alte at Union avenue and Hancock street at a purchase price of 14,170. Mr. Donaugh afterward changed hi ' recommendation and ap proved the alte finally decided upon by the waya and meana committee. Chairman Greene of the police com mittee spoke at length in favor of the alt at Union avenue and Hancock street When the committee finally voted for the site at Eighth and Han cock, he aald that "we will hesitate to build the station there." His meaning was not clear, but It la supposed to have meant that residents in the neighborhood will raise objec tions to the proposition and atop pro ceeding In the council. Thia was con strued from the further remarka of Rev. E. W. Mowre. Dastor of the Meth odist church, who said that the loca tion of the Jail at Eighth and Hancock would be strongly opposed by the resi dents. Councilman Menefee, represent ing the. ward In which the property la located, objected to the site, but came in too lata to participate In the meeting until after the vote had been taken.
