To the. Honorable Board of County
Commissioners,
Brown County, Minnesota.
Gentlemen
In compliance with your request of
f.April 90, A. D. 1921, / have the honor
to submit to you herewith a report
for the care and maintenance OF pau
ers admitted to the Brown County
/ Poor Home and who were cared for
during the year 1920.
During the year 1920 sixteen in
mates were cared for by Brown Coun-
ty, totaling 1882 days, and the cost of
maintaining these sixteen inmates was
$5,l23.46, while the sale of products
during 1920 amounted to $1,763.91.
Deducting this amount of sale of pro-
ducts from the total amount as stated
above a balance of $3,459.55 remains
as the amount expended to care for
and maintain the sixteen inmates,
therefore it requires $.8f per day for
! the care and maintenance OF said
paupers.
Annexed hereto and a part hereof
find a detailed statement of the Poor
Farm Expenses for which orders for
warrants were drawn during the year,
arranged so that it gives the number
of the warrant, to whom issued, for
what purpose and the amount of each
claim. Also a statement giving the
names of the inmates, and the number
of days that each individual was pro-
vided for during the year.
Taking into consideration the con-
ditions and affairs of the high cost of.
living it has been proven that the in
mates at the County Poor Farm are
boarded cheaper than the prisoners in.
the County Jail, as the board for the
county prisoners is fixed by law at
$1.OO per day.
Dated at.New Ulm, Minnesota, this
9th day of May, A.. D.. 1921.
Respectfully submitted,
LOUIS G. VOGEL, County Auditor.
