He said the elimination of fire hazards pointed out by the nrevions ffrnnrl inrv is unrWwov but that the screens haven't been altered yet. JURORS THANKED Sherman said the grand jury's report was "well intentioned" and thanked grand jurors for their "splendid cooperation" in suggesting ways to improve juve nile detention facilities. "We deplore the fact we don't have a fire-proof building for housing the juveniles," Sherman declared. He pointed out, however, that there is a push-button in each room that can be used to signal a night supervisor. "If any boy or girl wants to leave his room at night, a push of the button will bring the supervisor." PRACTICAL REASON Sherman asserted the individ ual rooms must be locked "from a practical standpoint." A main reason for locking the rooms at night, Sherman said, "is to keep the boys out of the girls' rooms and the girls out of the boys rooms. Cooking facilities at Skipworth Juvenile Home were found to be neat and clean" and the meals plentiful and palatable," accord ing to the report. Grand jurors also stated the supervisory staff was "interested and capable." CITY JAIL REPORT The erand iurv alsn rennrtprl on its visit to the Eugene Munici- oal Jail.
