The sheriff OF Bingham county at vari
Gus times has had official business whicl
called him away from the county seat
and, when making these trips, IL
charged board and lodging to the count,
and presented bilt therefor, amountiu,
to S5S.25, which tho board disallowed
The point at issue is whether such ex
penses as board lodging, etc, which ar
ordinarily part of the living expenses
can be properly charged against tn
county as an expense when incurred il
the discharge of official business. Tn
appellant contends that board and lodg
r ing Of county officer is not an expens
necessarily incurred in the performanc
of his duties as such officer, for the reaso
that board and lodging are necessary ex
penses i'll living under all circumstances
which III any avocation of life must b
paid as necessary living expenses, an
not part of the trade, Office or professio
in which person is engaged, while Tn
sheriff maintains that said expense
would not have been incurred had it nc
been for the transaction of certain ofiicis
business, and that therefore such eS
( penses are necessary and legal charg
against the county. 1t is certainly
novel point to be raised.
