must hereafter be properly certified as
coming from INDECENT persons before

and was granted 50, 1889, making
total of $500 for the year.

1t is claimed that in 1902 special
committee was appointed, consisting
of Suprs. Stanlake (Rep), Gould (Rep)
and Smith DEM to audit the bills of
the sheriff's office, and after endeavor-
ing during the entire session to deter
mine where they could reduce the bills,
admitted all were right and the board
allowed them in full.
1t will be seen, by references to the
printed proceedings of the board for
January session, 1902, on page "a, there
was much opposition to the expense &C
count of the sheriff, and the committee,
in the report, referred particularly to
the following facts:
1) That charge of one dollar was
made for the transfer Of prisoners to
and from the iails to the courts of the
city of Owosso, while the statutes clear
ly fixes the price at ten cents per mile.
(2) That the salary of officers in at
tendance at court is fixed at $3.50 per

materially reduce the sugar percentage
in the beet, if the weather is cold. If,
however, the weather is warm. the
added moisture tends to produce renew
ed growth, and it is this new growth
that makes drain on the sugar stored
up in the beet.
From this it will be seen that Sagi-
nav sugar beet growers may look for
ward to increased returns when the
most approved methods of culture are
followed and the by-product of the sug-
ar factories, the beet pulp, is fed out to
stock and restored to their farms in the
form of manure that is rich and readily
assimilated by the soil.

1t is not correct, then, to claim that
the bills of the sheriff have never been
questioned.

count Of one of the county's servants is
fair and legitimate, and is a matter in
which tax payers are interested The
expense under democratic administra.

The Record Of the Board of Supervis-
ors Shows That SheriR's Bills Were
Called in Question Two Years Ago.

-
Through the columns of the demo
cratic press of the county explanations
have been made relative to the large
expense attached to the administration
of the Office of sheriff during the past
three years. and efforts made to recon
Gle taxpayers to the heavy burden in
flicted upon them. They ask, why do
not the investigators go back to the
administration of Sheriff Smith, in 1878,
and Sheriff Cole, in 1884, who were also
democrats.
If comparisons are wanted, it might
prove interesting to note the expense
of the sheriffs Office in our neighbor-
ing county of Clinton. For the three
years of 1901, 1902 and 1903 the sheriff's
expenses, including deputy sheriffs and
boarding prisoners, amounted to $10,-
267.46. For the same period Shiawassee
county paid $50, 44946 a difference of
$25, 1872. 80 for the three years.

scene depicted on the canvas and ex'
