“We recommend that. the walls and ceilings of the jail be renovat- ed and put in such shape that they might be more easily cleaned and kept in a sanitary condition.

“Your Lordship, for years Grand Juries have reported very strongly against the practise of young men being detained in the County Jail well fed and in some cases cloth- ed by the Government and yet allowed to while away their time in complete idleness

"Adjoining the jail proper is a

block of land known as Kent Square To say the least its ap- pearance does not add to the

beauty of the Town or Country. Why not at least in war time, have this made productive and at the same time give healthful exercise to the prisoners

"And. your Lordship. we the members of this Grand Jury. feel- ing as we do about this matter. lock forward with much interest and some misciving as to the ulti- mate fate of report.
