The above table shows that the County
Commissioners have reduced the price Of board
aud expenses of keeping prisoners SO that
where it formerly Cost 5000 to support pri-
soaer year the present Sheriff receives but
$3.50. The costs of the Jail as appear By the
Treasurer's report includes large number of
bills over whicn he Sheriff has no control, for
instance, 10 1877 when the whole costs of the
JAIL expense amounted to over $40 900, the
amou t received by the Sheriff Was q little
over $13 600.
Tbas year the veotilatioa aud drainage had

that The matter should be attended to at once,
