The office of Sheriff Of Cook County. H. which
includes Chicago, Is not likely to he fat after
the close of the present lncumbent's term. Gov
ernor Deneen has signed a bill. urged by the Cit
izens' Association taking from the Sheriff the feed
ing of Jail prisoners. In "A recent report the
sociation said: In 1908 the inmates of the county
institutions at Dunning fed for 13 cents
per capita day, while the Sheriff allowed
2OIa cents a day for feeding each prisoner in the
county jail. II Cook County could have fed the
$40 prisoners in the county Jail cheaply 1t
fed its wards DunninE. it would have saved
$175oO in that year; and If the county could have
fed Jail prisoners cheaply the city of
Chicago fed its prisoners at the House Of Correc-
ton where the cost lie cents per capita a
day. it would have saved nearly $4,000. There IS
no reason why the jail prisoners cannot be much
better than heretofore without exceeding these
figures"
