Sherisfs Not Allowed any psscrenon IN
Making Repairs.


Making Repairs
at would be foolish 10 get into a
dispute with the board OF supervisors,
said Sheriff I.amoreaux yesterday,
"bat ii does seem as ii the sheriff Of
Kent county should have authority TO
repair q broken window or buy new
broom for the jail without going
through all tn. red tape OF making y
requ.sltion through the committee on
buildings There has already been
forty tons OF hard coal burned In the
old furnace in the jail, aud do not
know how much wood has been con-
sumed Just because the windows are
all broken and the cold wind blowing
on the pipes coudenses the steam aud
makes it impose. Bile to get heat enough
TO force any heat to the top OF the
building"
Superintendent of the Poor Lankas-
ter Was asked about the condition OF
the jail, and said: "We inspect the Jail
twice . year, and will say that the

special legislation for Grand Rapids

jail should be run on the same plan az
the poorhouse. There should be . Jail
or on 4 fixed salary. He should be
separate and distinct from the sheriff.
The supervisors should buy the sup
plies for the jail. am sure We could
thus save q great deal OF money for the
taxpayers OF Kent county"
Supervisor Solomon, In speaking OF
the same matter, said: at disgusts me
to see the sheriff forced to come to the
committee on buildings to know If he
may put in q pane of glass, or make q
needed repair. All this red tape costs
the county money. If find a light Of
glass out Of my house do | call a coun-
ell of all my relatives to find out
whether had better replace it, or do
Immediately replace it, and save the
expense of trying to heat the house
with the cold pouring IN at the win
dows? have seen the members of the
committee on buildings refuse to allow
bills for some little article which the
sheriff had purchased without asking
permission. 1t is my impression that
If the people of Kent county vote for a
man tor sheriff they have confidence
enough in him TO allow him to use his
discretion in making repairs"
