l would respectfully invite your atten-
ton to the following statement showing
the difference in the cost OF Maintaining
prisoners in both institutions
By referring to the sheriff bills. We find
that he charges sixty cents per day for
feeding each prisoner and u turnkey fee
on each.
The cost to the city fJr keeping prisoners
tncluding subsistence OF officers and EN-
ploves. pay rolls, etc. at the City Work
house averages about twenty-five cents per
day Very respectfully.
r. BREWSTER, Administrator.
Mr.. Lewis said the report did not repre-
sent sufficiently the difference to the city
in the expense Of the two prisons per
head. The city had to provide fuel aud
light for the Parish Prison and had to sup
ply the prisoners there with clothing, shoes
and blankets. 1t was but the other day
that an appropriation for $500 dollars had
to be made to provide the prisoners with
blankets. These items would increase, Mr.
Lewis observed, the expense Of each pris-
oner onethir1 over the allowance men
toned in the report and in the newspapers
M. Brewster added that the cost OF medi-
cines. which should have been included,
had been omitted also in the statements
printed in the newspapers Oh this subject.
On motion of Mr. Lewis. these remarks
Of himself and Mr.. Brewster were ordered
TO be placed upon the minutes aud to be re-
g,rdeG as part of Mr.. Brewster's report
As amended thua. the report was received.
