Undor this contract supplios are furalsbod tothe Tnsane Asylum, the Poor-Totse, tho Hos- pital, and thoso who recaivo reliof from the Couuty Agent, 1ospital supplics are necensarily of n botter quality than those issued to healthy peoplo, and consoquontly two, thrao, aud some- timos six, gradosof tho samo articlo aro furnishod by tho contractor, the prices for sugar, for in- stance, varying from 6J¢ couts for poor O sugar t0.12 conts for out loaf sugar. Now, Mr, Periolat allegos that, a8 & cousoquonco of tho complaints mado in the newspapers last spring rolative to tho poor qunlity of the supplies furnished tho inmates of the Poor-Houso, and thoso aided by the Connty Agant,—complilnts ro-ochoed by tho poraons in chiargo of these ostablishments,—tho Committee on Poor-House and Iospital directed in many instauces that articlos of n Lottor qual ity bo furnished than had previously been tho caso. Tho County Agent was fasuing to tho poor sn articlo of tes for which the contractor recoived 17 conte s pound. It was 6o outragoonsly infe- rior, a8 might have been oxpected, that general complaints wors made, and its isauo stopped. Tlus s aleo said to be truo of tho sugar, strup, ni!dllfimn othor ariicles which have beon sup- plied, . In briof, tbe point which Mr. Poriolat deaires to make s, thut ho bos contracted to furnish savoral grados of the same articlo at varyin prices; that thora Is not ouo contract prico for sugar, but ten *contract prices,” aud that the ofticera of tho Insane Asvium, Poor-llouse, aud Ifogpital biava scen fit to order from him articles of tho highost grado, orat all ovonts high- or than tho lowost grados. llo allogos that tho rico which ho contracted to farnish for 63§ conts is therico which e actually furnished for that price, aud ‘which tho county ofticors chose to take rather than the quality of rice which ho contracted to furnish at G} cents, Upon comparing Mr, Poriolat’s contract with the schoduls submitted by Commissioner Boguo, icwns found thut this oxplavation scemed to hold gaod in uemly oll the casos, Thoro wero, howover, the following discrepancies: Tho prico paid for young hyson i §1.10, whila tho contract priccs aro - rospectivoly 18e, 2Yo, %o, 4e, Gle, 62, 7do, = 9%, and §1,08, Thore in hore, thorofore, 8 plan ovor- chargo of 7 conts over tha highost contract prico, Worcestorshire anuco is eharged at $1.20, whilo the coutract pricaisonly €4, Mustard ia charged 8t 5 cents nbove tho himhest contract prico; mackarol 31 abova the bighest contract price; ual godn at 3¢ of a cont above tho higlost con- tract prico ; Jyo 15 conts abovo the higheet con- tract {Jrll.‘o; sirup is apparcotly 1 cent bighor than tho contract price of tho articlo furaiabed. M. Periolat himsol? called attention o one o¢ two_of thesa overcharges, which ho said wero clerical atrora nud would be corrected. e also stated that whilo ha had contracted to furnish oxtract of beef at §10 per cuge, hie had netually Loen supplying It ot ¥4 per oase, owing to tho groat reduction in tho prica of that article, and that ha had thoreby given tho couuty*nut 28 & mouth, which ho concelvad would afiply cover all aceideutal avor- charges, This, howavar, is not & propor way of transacting buniness, It is nluo slloged by Mr, Periolat that whon the contracts were awarded, the mombera of tho Committos having the mattor in cbarge wera of an economical furn of mind, and woent in for tho citeapost posaibla artigles, articlos 80 choap thut they wara aubsequoatly driveu to sbandan' their uto, Apsuming r.

But thefr first task wall be to call boforo thom tho porsous in charge of the county institutions, and ascortain from them whether a8 Mr. Periolat allegos, the sums paid bim reprosont articles of tho quality which ho agieed 10 furnish therefor, It so, thon tho runponsibility resta with thair ofiicers who have ordered theso bigber priced articles, and wich tha Committeas which bave seuctioned their purchase, In ordor to give an idea of those contracts the following summury is appended.
