WATER IN THE JAIL

[7 August 1891, Welland Telegraph]

The work of putting in the water pipes at the jail has been completed in a first class sanitary condition by the introduction of improved baths, closets etc. It took a long time for the county council to get a satisfactory rate from the waterworks committee, but now that they have got it the new arrangements will largely help to make Welland jail one of the healthiest and best equipped in the province. Impecunious itinerants will appreciate the innovation and patronize the establishment better than ever.
