Tho Commissioners Discuss Varlons Mate ters of More or Less Public Interest, An Industrial Department Rocommended at the Poor House---Tho Pay of Deputy Sheriffs. The Board of County Comminsionera mot yos- tordsy afternoon, in tho east wingof the old Court Houso, Prosident Millor in the chair. There wore prosent, Commissioners Bogue, Har- rison, Galloway, Lonergan, Jonos, Herting, Crawford, Clough, Pahlman, Singer, Russoll, and Roclle, A petition was recoived from August Singer, praying that hia insane wife be sont to the Coun- ty Asylum, ho belug unable to support hor. Tho document ws referred to the Superintondent of Public Charities, with power to act. A communication was raceived from the Su- porintendont of Publio Charities, colling atton- tion to tho matter of eatablishing an industrinl department at tho Cook County Poor-honse, to includo all persons not abeolutely sick, who ap- ply for admission. To succossfully operato such s departmeut, it would be necessary to havo a Iaw making o distinction betwoen siok and well, by which tho latter could bo committed for a given ‘length of timo, Its eatablishment would losson tho number of applications for relief, and with' proper maungement would be s source of rev- onuo to the inatitution. Commissioner Harrison thought it would bo well to rofer tho documont to the Judiclary Committeo, they to confer with Dr. Miller and the County Attorney, and learn what law was nocessary. It was eo roforrod. Tho Sherlf prosentod tho billa of his deputies and joilors for the months of Docember and Jau- uary nggrogating 81,384.47 for oach month, Commissioner Harrigon denired to know whero tho money was to como from to pay them., Tho Constitution provided that the Shoriff's omployes wero to bo peid out of tho.feos, and ho should .not bring in a bill until ho had reported foos col- loctod to cover the saluries. Presidont Millor said:ho had hed a conversp- tlon with Bherift Bradloy in rogard to- his_em- ployen: The Logislature, ho ‘said, had cut down tho foos fully one-Lalf, tho Board had reducod tho board of the Prlannnra,: and tho aggregato feon recoived would not. equal the pay of tho doputies nid othors ; that if-thore was s consti- tutional provision requirlng that they bo paid out of the foos he received, ho would have to dischargo all of them, becauso he did not oxpect to got moro than would pay his own ealary and tho salary of his .clorks,” The Commissioner moved that the eubject bereforred to the County Attornoy and Judiciary Committes, for an opiu- ion as to whether thors was a conatitutional pro- ‘vision requiring the paymont of salarios of em- ployos out of the fees collected, c{vmmhslouor Harrison moved as_an amend- mont, that the Sheriff ho mfluentod to report thu‘ amount of fees collected sinco the now rogimo. 'he amendmont waa accopted, and the motion, a4 smondod, was agreed to. A large number of bills for supplies were me- ;‘ufl:ud, and roferred to the appropriate Com- 008, The Committco on Poor Houso and Paupers submitted naudited bills for su f”“ furnishod during Januery, aggrogating 9 8,280.99, which woro ordorad t6 be paid.
