The daily cost of inmates each was 75 cents in 1891 and 71 Cents in 1890. The increaee arises partly from a number of new institutions being rmdntain. ed at a high tigure, considerable amounts having been charged to maintenance which might operly be charged to capital, while the higirprice ot meat, etc., in the early part of the year accounts for the rest. The proportion of the Government grant to the total maintenance decreased from 36 per 1 cent. in 1890 to.52 per cent. in 1891.
