Lack of Brick Halts Work on Jail, Aug. 27, 1926

Shortage in Material Halts Work on Jail

Jail work is being held up for want of material, the contractor has been unable to procure face brick as fast as needed, and the work has been stopped for a week.

The contractor expects to start work again the early part of next week.

The recent rains interfered with the work at the new County Home, which is now under construction. Favorable weather has permitted the work to be continued.
