When, in the judgment of the court trying criminal cases, wholesome food and proper lodging cannot be provided for the petit jurors for a lesser sum, the court shall have the power to make arrangements to provide the jurors with proper board and lodging while serving on the jury, and to pay for board and lodging daily a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) per jury per day of service.
