At the Levy Court yesterday morning
the sherlff's board bill for prisoners was
the subject OF general discussion. The
main point under consideration was wheth-
er Sheriff Allen should be paid 80 or 35
cents per head day for feeding prisoners
from the commencement of bis term up
to the present time. 1t was generally
conceded by nearly all the members that
hereafter that the allowance should be
80 cents day, but some of the members
thought he shou'd receive 35 cents the
same as Sheriff Lambson received up to
that time.
Messrs. Rothwel and Jordan both
favored IS cents for Sheriff Aliens part
of the term already served, but Mr..
Roberts, Chairman Grubb, Mr.. Wier and
others contended that it was understood
by the Levy Court a year ago that the
board should be 80 cents per day, and
they were in favor of adherlng to 1t.
