prison building and premises to be done by the prisoners, but
no unconvicted prisoner shall be compelled to do any work
against his will, beyond taking care of his or her own cell.

193. The County Commissioners shall, so far as practicable,
furnish all jail supplies by contract to be made semi-annually,
and due notice of the award of such contracts shall be given;
they may in their discretion appoint annually a board of visit-
ors to the jail to consist of five persons, who will serve without
compensation, and whose duty it shall be to visit said jail at
least once in each month, and to make to the Commissioners
such suggestions as they may consider necessary for the proper
regulatons of the prison. It shall be the duty of said Commis-
sioners to establish a code of rules for the regulation of the jail
and its occupants and charge and add to the same as occasion
may require.

194. The warden of the jail shall hold his position for the
. term of two years unless sooner removed by the County Com-
missioners for incompetency, disobedience, neglect of duty or
other cause, which in the judgment of the said Commissioners
may be sufficient for such removal, but in no case shall he be
removed except upon charges involving his fitness for the posi-
tion and after notice thereof and the opportunity to be heard
upon same. The warden shall be paid in monthly instalments
an annual salary of nine hundred dollars and occupy the dwell-
ing portions of the jail free of charge. The deputy warden shall
have the privilege of occupying one of the sleeping rooms in the
jail building.

195. The County Commissioners shall levy annually, such
sum of money as they may deem sufficient to pay the expenses
and charges for the succeeding year, for the attendance of
jurors summoned to the Circuit Court for the county.

196. The clerk of said court shall, immediately upon the
discharge of any juror, make out and deliver to him on demand,
a certificate of the number of days such juror served; and the
treasurer of said county shall, upon presentation of said certifi-
cate by the juror or his assigns, pay the amount therein certi-
fied to be due.

197. The clerk of the Circuit Court shall, upon the close of
every session of said court, make out a list of jurors, stating
therein the number of days each juror served, and deliver the
same to said treasurer.

198. The limit of the session of the Grand Jury in Baltimore
county shall be ten days, but the court may for special reasons
extend the session for five days longer.
