Ii seems the authorities of Dodge
vile have beer enforcing the tramp
law more vigorously than have the
police Of Lancaster. The total cost
OF tramps committed to the county
jail here was something less than
$500. In Iowa county it has been
twice that. Here is what the COM
mttee on claims at the recent session
Of the Iowa comnty board says:
eve find that the expense to the
county in caring for tramps that con-
gregate at the rounty seat is approx
mately $500 Obviously some plan
should be devised and put in oper-
alton to lesson the attraction Of our
county Jail to the genus tramp.
Every tramp or yagrant committed
is in fact sentenced to hard labor. but
in reality no work Is found for them
Work, it seems, to your committee,
must be found. We leave it to the
board TO suggest remedy or any
course that may seem wise TO il, only
making the digestion in a general
way that the subject is worthy of
