Detention Home Plan Faces Tax Hike and Sale of Capitol Hill Lot
Kanawha street lot bought for 55000 and Capitol Hill property at about 630000 may be sold to fund a two cent levy to raise 40000 for the first detention home unit. Judge Morgan Owen pushes infirmary and day nursery, noting two dozen orphans at the county poor farm should be housed separately and saved costs. The county garage is too small and the detention home would overlook the Kanawha river with the garage occupying the rear 60 feet of the lot.
