Feb. 24, 1921 â City Jail Capacity Is Doubled; $1.75 Assures Comfort
Something had to be done. Redmond ordinarily has had but few prisoners in the city jail, but last week four were registered and taxed accommodations so heavily that some conveniences had to be borrowed for the night.
So the matter has been fixed. Albert Julian, city marshal, and M.A. Cunning, city recorder, were in attendance at an auction sale and bought a double bed and springs for $1.25 and paid fifty cents cartage. This was upon their own responsibility, but the council Tuesday night placed the âokehâ on the transaction and ordered the $1.75 be paid.
