                         INSPECTION OF COUNTY POOR HOUSES.
                         
              SCOTT COUNTY JAIL was visited July 18, 1891. The county has
            a contract with the overseer, who rents a house in the village
            of Shakopee and receives $2.25 per week for the board of each
            adult pauper, and 50 cents per week for each child. This plan
            has been followed by Scott county for a considerable number of
            years, and on the whole has worked quite as well as the plan of
            maintaining a poorhouse on a farm. The county saves the expense
            of building and maintaining a house, and pays no more for the
            board of paupers than would be paid under the other plan.
