"A jail with one hundred cells should he planned and if feasible it sJiould be built on the vacant property in renr of the courthouse so that en trance to the court room and the of fice of the district attorney could be provided," the judge said.

The pres ent jsil is about one-third aa large as necessary at the present time. If some provision is not made it uy flje necessnry to send county prisoners to the Multnomah county jail such as is now heing done in Klamath and some other counties of the state, it is predicted. The plan of co operation with the city has been talked 9ver with city officials and seems to have their ap proval, Judge Bernard said.
