A test Of the position Of the county

Donald over the feeding of county pris-
oners has been precipitated by the filing
Of the first claim for board by the sheriff.
The bill is for 81, ,22O52 for board for 2.941

only the month of February. The clash In
the board will come over the allowance
Of the AZ cents a day demanded by the
sheriff.
Last February the board decided to allow
the sheriff 90 cents a day for feeding pris-
oners and furnishing the Jail supplies. An
investigation showed the average cost of
supplies for several years was 61h cents a
day. The allowance Of So cents was based
on 2Sia cents for feed and 6Ik cents for
supplies. Some time ago the sheriff asked
the board to allow him the entire 35 cents
for feeding the prisoners, the county board
to furnish the supplies. The board decided
It had no power under the law to do this
and took no action. The sheriffs bill Is
