The food was purchased by the county purchasing agent upon 
requisition made by the deputy warden and approved by the county 
warden. Perishable articles were purchased as used, but staples 
were kept on hand at all times. All food was inspected upon receipt 
at the camp to ascertain that it complied in quality and quantity with 
that ordered. In only a few instances were any discrepancies noticed 
and these were corrected at once. 
A system of weighing and checking all food used was inaugurated 
and maintained, and this practice, coupled with the selection of the 
most efficient foods, is responsible for the low cost of subsistence. 
The average cost of food furnished to convicts during the first six 
months, as shown by the detailed monthly report, was $0.175 per 
convict per calendar day. As an indication of the manner in which 
this food compared in cost and quality with that supplied by the 
county to the other county camps, Table 24 shows the character, 
amount, and cost of the rations furnished at the experimental camp 
from August 1 to August 22, inclusive, and the similar information 
regarding that served at the Lakewood fair grounds from August 23
