JAIL WORKSHOP.

A careful consideration of the Jail
workshop problem, IN the light OF past
experience, has resulted In a unanimous
conviction Of the board OF commi ssi oners
that the best interests OF the county will
be subserved by leasing the same to par
ties who make the heel business q special
ty, rather than undertake to carry on an
extensive manufacturing business in be-
b alf OF the county, with inexperienced
and continually changing management.
In accordance with this decision, an in
strument was signed on November goth,
1898, leasing the workshop, power, ma
oninery, tools and appliances, together
with the labor OF such prisoners as may
from time to time be sentenced to labor,

reservations, to the Standard Heel Com

the causes leading thereto and the inn
portant interests involved therein, q ma
jority of your commissioners are OF opin-
ion and deem II their duty to recommend
that the prisoners should be boarded by
the county instead of by the sheriff as at
present, believing that considerable saw
ing In expense would be made by paying
the actual costs only-and that the sherih
should be paid by suitable and sufiic-
lent salary in compensation for all his
services for the county, in lieu OF fees
and income now derived from board Of
prisoners. And we further recon- mend,
in consideration OF the large expense to
the county by reason OF the cost for sup
preston of the liquor traffic under the
fee system, that the liquor deputies, so,
called, appointed by the sheriff. should
be confirmed by the county commission
ers and allowed a suitable per diem or
salary in full for their services, believing
that ali county officials, as far forth as
practica BILE, should be paid by salary-all
fees to go to the county. In justice to
he taxpayers OF our county these matters
should engage the attention OF the Legis-
lature at an early date.

county commissioners and Mr.. q. Fred
Murch, register of deeds, made March I'd,
1896, o continuation OF the ledger index
in the registry has been made, covering
twelve wears, bringing it forward to 1894
inclusive. The work, which was COM

much care and painstaking to avoid err

approval OF your commissioners.
The balance of the bonds authorized
for the payment OF damages incurred by
