Lake Arrowhead, Calif., Dec. 16 (AP)—Chief of Police Tom E. Johnson has placed a padlock on the door of this mountain resort’s one-cell jail. With it went this sign: “Business indefinitely suspended.”
The official said the jail was not a paying proposition, since no arrests had been made in the last year and the villagers were running into debt keeping the institution.
The chief added that if any ?? were apprehended, they would be placed in the blacksmith shop for safe keeping.
