EFFICIENCY SAVES
MONEY FOR COUNTY
Jail Expense for June Sl2s.90 Under
Amount Allowed for Maintenance
of the Prisoners.

Warden E. H. Verret of he Jsffer-
son county Jail is something of a
home economies expert himself, judg-
ing from.the report of jail nainten-
ance for June. as compiled yesterday
by Chief Deputy Sheriff J. Harvey
Means
The average number OF prisoners
was about p, the report showing ths
aggregate number to be equivalent IL
So for one day. Tie county limits
the sheriff's department to 30 cents
Per day per prisoner, or, for June the
sum of $406. The total expense. in
Guiding the wardens salary and
cooks wages, was S27710. The war
den served 1924 meals for s203.35
Groceries cost $96, bre ad s21.05. meat
S62.25; milk, vegetables and butter
$500; wood $50.
Those who have enjoyed the &C
ccllmodations testify that the meals
are palatable, wholesome and ample
'Mr. Verrett buys carefully yiliZes
everything and permits no waste
said Mr.. Means And he is enabled
to exercise economy n buying be-
cause Mr. Williams has put the jail
on a cash basis. Instead of having
bills paid in scrip, we pay cash-it is
all the county's money, anyway. BY
doing this, MI Verrett can. and does
drive good bargins in his purchases. ,
Sheriff Williams estimates that by
paying cash, the county buys for >.
per cent less than if payment was
made in scrip.
Calculation shows that the jail ex-
pense for June was S12S.90 less than
the allowance

II il finely said by Plato that as the
knowledge that is Invested of justice
deserves the appellation OF cunning.
rather than wisdom, SO a mind unsus

the character of audaciousness, rather
than of fortitude. We therefore require
