25 years ago Wednesday, Nov. 2, 1983 Ukiah Daily Journal SUPERVISORS OPT FOR 80-BED JAIL. Mendocino County Board of Supervisors yesterday approved in concept the con- struction of a new 80 bed jail to replace the antiquated facility in the County Courthouse, and directed staff to submit an applica- tion for a $1 million state grant to pay for a portion of the con- struction costs. The new facility, to be located behind the sheriff’s office on Low Gap Road, will consist of a concrete block core building with modular steel wings. The RCF Company of Hayward has estimated the cost of the structure at $2.2 million. Site preparation costs could swell the final price tag to $2.5 million, according to county Chief Administrative Officer Al Beltrami. Sheriff deputy Jim Tuso, who has overseen preparation of the county’s grant application, said the new jail would take six to nine months to build. The modular portions have an expected useful life of 30 years, he said. The Sheriff’s Department is restricted by a court order and the state fire marshal from confining more than 46 prisoners at the 36-bed facility on the third floor of the courthouse. Although the county has long discussed building a new jail, tight finances have been a substantial stumbling block. *** KING DAY ESTABLISHED. WASHINGTON (UPI) – President Reagan, in a Rose Garden ceremony marked by the spontaneous singing of “We shall overcome,” signed a law today establishing a legal holiday honoring civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. In remarks before signing the measure, Reagan said King had “stirred our nation to the depths of its soul.” Photo provided courtesy of Susan Holzhauser Boer He recited King’s most famous words, the clarion call of the This barn, owned by Ludwig and Lydia Holzhauser, was located on the east side of the 500 block of great 1963 march on Washington, “I have a dream,” and predict- South School Street, where the Mendo-Lake Credit Union’s parking lot is today.
