NE YORK
NEWS LETTER

New York. Oct. 14.-Municipal ad-
ministration in this county, particu-
larly in large cities, are not famous
Tor their economy, and it is safe to
say that nobody ever suspected the
municipal government of Greater New
York to be more economical than the
government of other great American
cities. As a rule, figures showing the
extravaganza of city administrations,
are more -exasperating han sensa-
tional, except in some few instances.
The figures concerning the cost of
maintaining the county Jail on Ludlow
street, however, are so extraordinary,
that eve the most pessimistic critic
of the administration finds it difficult
TO accept them as correct. According
to the figures submitted by Sheriff
Erlanger to the board of estimate, the
cost of maintaining and conducting
the Ludlow street Jail is 500, $50 a
year, not including the $4,000 which
constitutes the sheriff's salary. At
the present time there are only three
prisoners in the Jail, and, according to
the figures, their maintenance costs
the city over $50 a day for each pris.
oner. Once in a while there are a
few more prisoners in the jail, but
their number has not exceeded nine
for Over a year. Taking the maximum
figure as the average, the cost of main
tanning the prison would be about $50
a day for each prisoner. One of the
local papers has figured out that the
city could save about $45 a day by
sending its prisoners, each accom-
panied by a trusty guard, to the st.
Regis hotel, and board and lodge them
there. The prisoners and their guards
could enjoy LUXURIOUS quarters, deli
cious meals, drink champagne with
their meals and smoke fine cigars, and
it would cost the city only one-half of
what it costs now TO keep the few
prisoners at the Ludlow street jail.

The postal authorities are looking
for a nan who signs himself j. f. A
Smith, and who seems TO be a man OF
original ideas. He offers himself as
the matrimonial prize in a lottery,
which is to cost each of the players
$500. The one who guesses a certain
number, which, he says, he has put
in eschow, draws Smith as a husband.
Those who fail to win the capital prize
each get $500 worth of stock In a com
pany which is to be formed to exploit
a valuable proposition The contest
closes on October 25th, and aspirants
who do not inclose $500 will receive
no consideration. Smith also offers a
prize of 500 TO the newspaper which
is most often mentioned in his appli-
cations and another prize of 800 to
the paper in which his future wife
first saw the proposition. The prosa-
ical postal authorities do not appre-
ciate the originality Of the scheme
and are Of the opinion that Smith has
violated the postal laws and is liable
for fraud.
