The Cost OF the County Jail, &c
By . certificate from Auditor JOIN
sox, published in another column. il will
be seen that sthe. cost Of building ocr
magnificent jailais put down at the sum
Of o60, 216 al; or, adding the whole -ex--
penss, of khe sewer. go, 4l5 So Now
We are. by no means, disposed 20 he
be captious. regarding the expenditure.
for we copsider'it is cheap at Tie figures
"a credit to the economical manage.
ment OF the Board. and an honor to tie
county--hpt wo, would very mnch like
to see all the items grouped together of
it's cost. II may possibly be the case
that the expense attendant on examin-
ing similar buildings throughout the
country, and great many other items
properly chargeable to the wo.k, pre-
liminsry and necessary to make as per-
feet job as has been made, may have
been left ont by Auditor Johnsor--not
supposed by him to be the cost, .sproit
err to the Jail, and that his certificate
only covers materials for and work done
on it We call upon the Board of Com
missioners tc give the public alt the
items justly chargeable to the erection
OF this prise n We do this for the reason
that two of, the members Of the Board,
who Joyesd the county into tho work,
fMessrs. o. T..Ipnas andol. N Pierce,
issued circular to the voters and tax
payers Of ayne County, in which they
say: a'As it has been published that the
Jail will cost from $50, 200 to- 800, 600,
we will say that the architect informs US
that it will cost from 49,. 900 TO $40, 900.
which will probably be near the figures .
There seems to be slight discrepancy
hetHeen the information received from
the architect by vMcssrs.i Jones and
Pierce OF upwards of sso,0ee, ami if he
could miss Hbfs estimate 80 widely, may
not Auditor johnson have missed few
figures, Under the impression that they
were not the cost .:proper" to the Jails
Give the public the itemss Messrs. COM
