Thero were presont Commissioners Schmidt, Clough and Ruseoll, and Shoriff Aguow. Commissioner Schmidt occupied tho chair, and, after stating the objoct, the Shoriff remarked that he didn’t seo how tho present allowanco of 85 conte for each prisoner per day could bo re- duced. It was now entirely too small, and in- stead of boing decreased should bo incrossed. While the law authorized the County Doard to fix the compensation for dioting tho prixoners, still hho was empowored by that samo lay to bo tho judge of the wholcsomoness of’ the throa meals each day,, aud olso tho judgo + of tho actual cost of providing theso meals. Ho had not entored into any recent calculations of tho cost, but he would call thoir attention ton roport made by Dr. Miller in 1872 on this sub- joot, wherein the not cost was shown to bo 27!4¢ ccnts por day foreach prisoner. During thnt year provisions wero cheaner than now, and Lo could not aco how any reduction could bo mado at present. Ife did not wish more than a reasou- ableo omponsation. Commissioner Clough asked if 25 conts por day would not bo eufficient. To this tho Sheriff auswered that ha would no’ touch it at that figure. Ho would not have the contract at less than 35 cents, There was not arother county in the State of Tilinoia that paid less than 50 conta. Cammisnioner Clough said that other counties ind adopted the rotail plan, but this county fol- lowed the wholesalo plan, Ho did not desiro to taka anvthing from tho Sborlif that rightfully belonged to him ; ho simply desirod to see a roa sonable ficure fixed for dioting tho prisonora.
