MORE NEEDLESS
EXPENSE FOR
THE TAXPAYERS
The corridor of the county
jail is to be lined with steel
to keep the bold, bad men,
incarcerated therein, from
burrowing through to free
dom. For this the taxpayers
of this county are to pay
950. The county court so
orders. While we are put
ting in improvements why
not put a ferry across Thir
tymile and install a burglar
alarm sytem to prevent any
one stealing the cement
walk at the high school?
There is just as much com
mon sense in these as in
lining the jail corridor.
There are now two cells
in the jail in which to con
fine prisoners and there is
no chance of anyone getting
out of these. .When the
prisoners are allowed the
freedom of the corridor for
their necessary exercise it
is supposed thai the officers
are watching them or at
least .know just what they
are doing.
Taxes were high this year,
next year they will be
higher, too high to have
any of the taxpayer's money
wasted in useless expend
itures. Also there was no
formal call for bids on this
job, another poor business
policy to which the county
court seems to be addicted.
Still there were four bids
entered as follows: Jamie
son & Marshall, 650; W.
B. Kinsley, 781.46; Norris
Safe & Lock Co. of Port
land, $950; and Mosler Safe
Co. of Portland, 1050.
There were two bids below
the price at which the con
tract was given. Still the
contract was given to a
Portland firm, which has
never paid a cent of taxes
in thi3 county, in prefer
ence to the local , bidders.
It is anything but good busi
ness. .
