County and City Agree on Jail Heating Plan
At a special Parowan city council meeting County Commission H L Adams and County Clerk W Clair Rowley approved a plan to heat the jail via a new shared system. The county would install an automatic stoker at the courthouse furnace to heat the jail, while the city supplies radiators and piping. Labor costs are estimated at 22125 with material costs partly on hand. A Christmas day site inspection and a plumber’s estimate were arranged. The new arrangement would channel heat from the courthouse to the jail, ending the jail's independent heating. The city budget for 1940 was approved at the same meeting, totaling about 37000 for the year.
