H. C. Nixon, l’rovinrial Treasurer for ”Mario, last week visited North Bay jail and was thoroughly dissatisfied with it. Mr. Nixon is by no means origimv1 in this expression of dissatisfaetion with North Bay jail. Several acquaintances of' Magistrate Atkinson have gone from Timming at his suggestion and most of them were dissatisfied with that North Bay jail. Some elf the, same people have been similarly dis.. pleased. with tiaileyhut'y jail, and few of t-hein have even cared particularly for the commodious and hospitable quarters of the Hotel de Greer. It is the proper human 'attitude to “he dis- satisfied with jails. If this dissatG- t'artion ran he kept stillieiently alive it will inake,even Cal/met Ministers hesitate about lou.ving automobiles without tender or too eostly furniture at the public's expense. But on his visit to North Bay, the kind despatehes again inform a wait- ing world, “Mr. Nixon was "deliy,ht- ed” with his visit to the North Bay hospital. Several from Thnrnins have also spent time in the North Bay hos- pital and have spoken highly of the institution when they returned. Others have not returned, so it is not known what they may think. Mr. Nixon (thank Heaven 4'ur despatehes) was especially pleased with the operating room whieh he thought would com- pare favourably with any in the Pro- vince. Hon. Mr. Nixon should induce his Chief, Hon. Govt. .l)rury, to go to that nice operating room and have that “More Revenue" tilmor out " his North side. Apparently Hon.
