. reporter Of THE TRIBUNE yesterday visited
the bread which is being supplied by Duffy Bros.
Capt McGrath stated that 1t was the best bread
ever delivered to the County-Agent's Office,
ment. The beans, barley, corn.meal, rice.
and other supplies were investigated, and
proved, to BE- fully up to tie simple:
lnsane-Asylum and Poor-House is said to be
equal to that furnished last year. Mr.. .Bpper
has begun to deliver meat under his contract,
and no complaints have yet been filed about it.
Since the old-time Democratic Ring-rule
has been broken, up and the Baker Bros. lost
their grip as .coal-contractors, half hundred
schemes have been set on. foot to annoy the
present contractors. The latest scheme was q
from the railroad. and in the present
ftt reach of the 1sesa rs Te
the stockof coal was suffered to run VERY low:
Then it wns hoped and expected that a cold
spell would come The "Munitoba wave" did
not arrive, but yesterday a few emissaries of the
disappointed bidders we're around at the County
building hhnting for reporters. The burden Of
their complaint was that the Asylum and the
'poor-HOuse were without coal, and that In the
event Of cold snap an indefnit number of pau
pers would be frozen to death. Inquiry showed
t tbat the the wa a. sn + es
blocked with coal. In the present condi-
ton Of the roads hauling is extreme
1y difficult, and thus 1t Is that the
storehouses at the Asylum are untitled. But if
q freeze" should comes from fifty to eighty
tons per day could readily be hauled from the
depot tone and 3 half miles, to the inttituaons::
If the freeze does not come, then the coal will
not be wanted. 1t seems that the kick" Is
being made by the disappointed bidders, and
cludes meetings OF "indignant citizens" in city
wards twelve miles removed from the Asylum.
The taxpayers may rest assured that no pAuper
will be frozen at Jefferson even though Baker
Bros. have not the coal l-contrnct.
