For the first time in the history of
the offices, according to Treasurer
Eby, the sheriff of Mahaska county
last year earned and paid in to the
treasury Of the county, $191.1S, more
than the cost of maintaining the
Office.
To succeed in making such rec
ord as this during the first year of
his term of Office should have been
satisfactory to Sheriff Valentine, but
his annual report, recently filed with
County Auditor Doak gives more
facts which eloquently testify to the
fact that in the election of Ed. Val
entine. there was no misplaced con-
fidence.
Sheriff Valentine, during the first
year of his administration saved the
taxpayers of Mahaska county, sS06.99
over the cost of the same office in the
year previous. In dollars and cents
there was more work done in the
sherifrs Office last year than in the
year before.
