A City Lock-up

The Courier comes out this week in favor of a city lock up, and suggests that, with a few changes in the charter, the lock-up be built. The changLs in the charter are not necessary, as the charter expressly provides for the building ot a city lockup, and one of the editors of this paper took strong grounds in a communication to the council some years ago in favor of buUding such a lock-up. It would not only be economical for the city and provide a place in which all vagrants could be stored without extra cost, and so add to the security of the people, but it would also do away with a ground of coraplaint which the country supervisors are continually bringing against the city. The only persons who would suffer by the building of a city lock-up would be the sheriffs and the drunks and vagrants.
