to dead waste. the permanent struc

Citizens Association of Chicago Claims
Profit OF Sheriff for Boarding
Prisoners is Not Legal.
CONDITIONS THE SAME HERE
Allowance in Rock Island is 40 Cents
Day kittilsen Explains How
Present System is Operated.

The Citizens association in Chicago
has instituted steps that are of par
ticular interest in Rock Island county,
inasmuch as they aim at the practice
whereby the sheriff is given an allow
ance for feeding prisoners in the
county Jail, and pockets the difference
between the actual cost and the
amount allowed by the county board.
The association has made public in
Chicago report of an investigation
covering many months, in which the
statement is made that the county
board has absolutely no right to pay
more than the actual cost of feeding
prisoners, and the sheriff is taking IL
legal fees when he pockets the differ.
ence. To all appearances the situa-
tion in Rock Island does not differ
from that in Cook county, except that
here the cost may be higher because
there are fewer prisoners, and the bal
ance available for the sheriff is CORE
spondingly less. But that the sheriff
here makes a handsome profit out If
the feeding of prisoners is the general
who have sought election to this Of
fee have had their eyes more closely
fixed on the allowance for boarding
prisoners than they have on the 81 500
salary allowed by the county.
Law is Quoted.
The Chicago report has the follow
ing from the opinion of the supreme
court of the state: The legislature,
understanding that it was the duty of
the sheriff. under the law, to provide
for the prisoners confined in the jail,
gave the county board the right 2t
| fixing the price, not less than the &C
! tual cost. as matter of protection
to the county," The supreme court
also held. the report states, that the
sheriff was not entitled to receive pay
| for serving the food, that being part
of his duty as jailer, and compensated
| by his salary as sheriff.
| Sheriff Strassheim of Cook county
is allowed 201a cents a day for board
ing prisoners, and according to the
Citizens association he feeds the pris
