<br />has been removed~frem building, although it had never successfully been operated, so we were
<br />told.- However, the mattresses are supposed to be thoroughly cleaued once each month, and
<br />more often, if needed, by the Hampton Roads Exterminating Compsxay, but as stated in our pre-
<br />vious report, we are of the opinion that the mattresses sho~ld be covered with some rubber
<br />material-so that they could be washed and disinfected. It does not appear to us that spray~

<br /> The showers inall of the cells are in need of attention. Most of them
<br />have no spray, and in oneshower there is a wooden hslf barrel with skim of oil appeariD~
<br /> and is used by the pr'isoners for washing their clothes.
