The city oflclals of Norwalk have been looking up the contracts for the fitting up oi the Norwsla police sta- tion. They find that the work was done under the supervision of Council- nian Harvey Kent, who was at the time chairma of the police committee. The at were furnished by the Yale Sale and iron Canaan.“ w Haven. instead of by the Berlin Bridge Company. as was at first supposed. Ac- cording to the contract the cages were not made to hold criminals or desper- ate characters. but simply for drunks or ordinary cases. The contract spec- iiled that the top and bottom was to be of Bessemer steel. but the sides are not mentioned. The cost was .320. while to put in a burglar-proof cage the es- pcnse would have amounmd to nearly twice that sum. The police and present city oiilcialt are surprised at this discovery. for they supposed the cages would hold anybody who might be captured. At a result of the escape, however. there will probably be a new and for proved saw and file-proof steel cage erected. which would safely hold the most dangerous and slippery criminal. The members of the police commit- tee looksd the place over Saturday night and were surprised at the soft- ness of the bars. .Thc old cages will be retained for ordinary drunks. while the new cage will in all probability be located in the room with the police lockers. arcane All runnm III.
