WATER AND PAINT WILL BE UN
SPARINGLY APPLIED.
MAYOR DURLAND WAS SHOCKED
Norfolk's Jail Never Was Intended to
be Attractive , But It Is at Least Go
ing to be Ciean Chief Flynn Will
Be On the Job.
A spring housecletuilug In the city
Jail !
Ono of the first acts of the Durland
administration will bo to thoroughly
overhaul the city Jail. The Norfolk Jail
never was Intended to be attractive
but It Is at least going to bo clean.
Chief of Police John Flynn on taking
olllco this week visited the Jail and
reported that It was filthy. Mayor
Durland went to look for himself. The
mayor was shocked. Ho said that
blankets and mattresses In the Jail
would not make decent bedding for a
rcflpcctnblo horse.
So the old Jail Is going to have a
cleaning. It is going to feel the touch
of water and smell the odor of fresh
paint. Nev Airnlshlngs arc to bo put
In the Iron cage colls. The work of
putting the Jail Into decent condition
will bo under the direction of Chief
Flynn. Ho has started In by having
the tight hoard fence about the Jail
put In such condition that It will keep
people away from the jail windows.
Not Competing With Hotels.
But the Norfolk Jail Is not going to
compote with the hotels. It Is not
J going to be so clean and tidy that the
officers will fear to turn In the way
ward "bum" lest ho soil Its spotless
whiteness ; but the jail Is going to be
put in such condition that it can not
bo pointed out as a disgrace to the
it
city.
city.A
A city jail Is not a place where con
victed prisoners are long confined.
People thrown Into Its confines are
largely "suspects" people presuma
bly Innocent In the eyes of the law
until convicted. People wrongly njid
rightly charged are locked In the city
jail and if they are finally branded
as "guilty" they are usually advanced
to more attractive quarters In the
county jail.
City jails are said to bo nearly unl
form In being unclqan and badly kept.
In Norfolk the new administration
thinks that the general rule ought to
be smashed in favor of a clean excep-
. tlon. So Chief Flynn Is going to clean
'er up and trust to his Irish Ingenuity
to find ways of counteracting an >
breeze of popularity that might threat
en to swamp the jail quarters with
steady boarders.

ONLY CLEANING UP REMAINS
Mayor Durland Is Now Familiarizing
Himself With the Details of thc > Con
tract Under Which the Sewer Has
Been Built Cost $30,000.
The Norfolk sewer sj-Htom IH virtual-
y completed. Only the Incidental
ork of cleaning up remains. The
uestlon of the city accepting the HOW-
r system will como before the city
ouncll meeting at the mid-month
leetlng on Thursday evening , May 1C.
Contractor O. P. Hcrrlck of Sioux
City will bo In the city during the
veok. Meanwhile Mayor Durland , 1111-
or whoso administration the wnvor
ystom Is to bo accepted , IH spending
art of hln time familiarizing himself
vltli the terms and conditions of the
ewer contract entered between the
Ity and Contractor Hcrrlck.
The cost of the sewer will not
mount to over $110,000 , It IH stated.
Approved bills for the recent work
Hive not yet been sent before the
ouncll. Last spring the city voted
10,000 In bonds to cover the cost of
lie sewer construction. It was noces-
ary to discount the bonds In selling
liom on account of the low rnto of
itcrost carried , Contractor Herrlck ,
avlng agreed to accept the bonds In
ayment for the sewer , standing for
he greater part of the discount.
The acceptance ? of the sewer system ,
vhon fully completed with the city
treots restored to their normal con-
lltlon , falls on the city council acting
in the advice and olllclal report of the
Ity engineer. The council meet ing Is
'hursdiiy ovenlng. It Is quite possl-
do that some hitch in the final under-
landing between the city and the con-
raotor may arise over the question of
issesslng the cost of alterations in
he water mains and other similar
natters hovering in the air.
Once the sewer system has boon ue-
optcd by the city , the next stop in
Norfolk's municipal program will be
ho creation of sewer districts to con-
loot different sections of the city with
ho now sewer mains constructed ui
Mrst street and for several blocks up
'ark ' and Madison avenues.

Astonishing Growth of a California
Town Has Seen no Change In P. O.
Berkeley , Cal. , .May 11. Postmaster
George Schmidt discussed the postal
situation before the members of the
Palo Alto Park Improvement associa
tion last night. Schmidt assorted that
the service was the worst in the Unit
ed States ; that the force was short
eleven carriers and eight clerks and
that the pay was so small that ho was
afraid he would lose those now on
duty. He said It was Impossible to
got anyone except Incompetents to
take the civil service examination or
to apply for positions.
Said Schmidt : "Tho women In my
office work twelve hours dally and I
have spent $1,400 out of my own pock
et during the last twelve months In
hiring extra help that was Indispensa
ble , but for which the United States
government would not pay. There are
sacks of mail in that postolficc that
came before Christmas and have not
boon opened yet. Two years may
elapse before we can reach them. I
have written to the nostoffice depart
ment at Washington , about this many
times , but In vain. "
"Tho postolllce department seems to
think that the great increase in our
business Is Imaginary. Sometimes
they think It Is n temporary condition ,
caused by the presence hero of several
thousand persons , who were burned
out In San Francisco a year ago and
are camping In Berkeley. They can
not understand that the population
should have made a permanent In
crease of more than fifty per cent In
a year. "
