The Nonsanian enters into an elaborate

of maintaining prisoners in the Pcu,tcn,iary
will not eAceed 81 Is per day under the Ter.

States 81 90 per day during the past nine
months. We would b. glad IN sec the cx-
pcnditure as low as the Nonsanian estimates.
hut have no anticipation it will be. The
W"rden's salary will doubtless he increased,
as also the allowance for medica! attendance
The number Of guards should be increased.
AZ required to he "n duty now, there is not
'"rcc enough and the safety of the prisoners
isendsnyercd. Tie Territorial Warrants are
only 65cts. or 8Jcts. and ,ha. discount will
have to he aided to the actual cnst. W.
have c,tims;ed the cost will b. increased t.
81 % for each prisoner per day. Our es,i-
mate will neither increase or decrease the
expenditure, and We are perfectly content
I" abide the result and see who comes near
