In their opinion an entire new jail need not be erected, but that a suitable addition may be made to the present one, which will answer the desired purpose. The addition is to be made to the north west end of the present building & is to be twenty four feet wide by eighteen feet deep, of sufficient height to make two stories or tier of cells. Each story or tier to have two cells, each cell to be as near as practicable twelve feet square. The outside wall of the cells to consist of square timber compactly placed together & fastened to each other with iron or other suitable fastings. The timber for such outside walls to be ten inches square of hemlock or hard wood as may be deemed best by the Board, though the estimates of the committee are based upon hemlock timbers. On the inside each story or tier is to be divided into two cells by walls to be made of timbers eight inches by ten. The inside of the cells to be lined with heavy sheet iron to be securely spiked on to the square timbers, upon the iron is to be fastened hard wood plank two inches thick to be fastened by iron spikes upon the outer timbres, the floors to be made as follows, first a course of square timber, eight inches square upon this a course of iron similar to that mentioned for the walls & to be similarly fastened to the square timbers, upon that a course of hard wood, two inch plank & to be spiked to the timbers below, the plank for the floor & walls are not to be jointed at all in the cells except where the floors & walls meet, then the floors & wall are to be dovetailed together, in each is to be place a furnace. Each of the cells is to be warmed with hot air from the furnace, no sinks are to be built in the cells in the place of them tubs are to be used. These to be emptied into an outside sink between the rest of the cells & the present building is to be a hall six feet wide with a flight of stairs leading to the upper cells. The outer side of the outer walls is to be clapboarded & painted, the expenses are estimated at $2000. It is deemed that this amount will be ample to make the building as strong as iron can make it. Your committee in this report do not make or recommend any disposition of the present of the cells as that was not referred to them, all which respectfully submitted.
