Jail Prisoners Costing
County Fl Cents A Day

Although the prisoners in the
Rockville Jail are given an abun-
dance of substantial food, such as
ham, eggs, fresh meats, soup, po-
tatoes, greens and, now and then,
something sweet, what they eat is
costing the county only about Fl
cents a day per person, according
to Sheriff Richard H. Lansdale.
However, as the number of such
guests is always large, having av-
eraged so a day during November
and close to that number since, the
annual total cost runs into rather
large figures.
