W. H. Sweeney, S42, for buggy and
horse hire.
Mr.. Trofatter-I object to the bill as ex-
orbitant and unnecessary.
Under Sheriff Hill stated that it was
absolutely necessary to employ convey
ances to make outside arrests or serve
papers, and bring prisoners back. The
officers could not afford to pay this ex-
pense out of their own pockets.
Mr.. Trofatter-Mr. Sweeney has q livery
stable, and these bills will be piled in upon
us every month. Twenty thousand dol
lars had been expended by the Sheriff in
some way unnecessarily last year. l pro-
pose to put a stop to this leak.
Mr.. SMITH will vote for the bill as q
matter of necessity.
Matt. Kyle-I would like to ask Mr..
Trofatter What he has against me.
Mr.. Misunderstanding personally, but
the taxpayers have.
Mr.. KYLE am charged with getting
away will $40, 900 Of the county's money.
l only wish l had had the opportunity to
get away with that sum-. Then addressing
himself to the Board, he advocated the
bill, saying that although Mr.. Sweeney
was a political foe, he was entitled to trav-
cling expenses to enforce the orders of the
Court and transact the business of his

which was seconded by Mr.. Arlington.

upon as an expert in such matters, to en-
tighten the Board. Mr.. Levy said he had
taken a similar inventory two years ago
and it took him four days, for which he
received $50.
Mr.. Arlington considered it only two
days labor to do the work, and suggested
that the bill be cut down one-half. Mr..
Levy interposed that the work could not
be done inside of four days. Mr.. Trofat-
ter moved to allow $50. Mr.. Smith
moved to allow $40. Mr.. Arlington
moved to allow S25. Finally a compro-
mise was struck on $50 between Measrs.

proper. I will take S499 SO in cash, but

the propriety of the county paying this

then stated that the Hook and Ladder
and Hose house was county property. Mr..
Arlington wanted to know if in case Of

County Treasury. The assurance was
given that such would be the case. The
bill was then allowed.
A bill was about to be read by the Clerk
for supplies to- one Of the fire companies,

ordered the goods.
