the committee on the claim of Fred
Turner, sheriff of Cache county
| We hold the claim is a proper charge
against the state for the following rea-
sons:
First-The county court of Cache
county served notice on Sheriff Turner
! that if the indebtedness was incurred
they would not pay any portion of such
Indebtedness.
Second-The judge ordered Mr.. Tur-
ner to make Improvements and pur-
chase such furniture as was purchased,
which we hold they had authority to
do, under provisions of section 303S, s.
! 81. p. 1919 Vol. IL, compiled laws of
Utah, 1883.
! Third-At a subsequent session of the
district court held at Logan. the county
provided rooms, furniture and other
! fixtures necessary for the convenience
of said court which rooms, ETC., were
at the disposal of said court as long as
the court should hold in Cache county.
the county selectmen thereby filling
their portion of the contract as per res
olution adopted by them prior to the
holding CT the first term of court il
Cache county; but said county court
refused to go to any further expense in
fitting up court house for the district
court, hence the county is in no way
We therefore recommend that the
claim of Mr. Turner be allowed as per
recommendations of the board of ex-
aminers. Respectfully submitted.
