R. MEYER JR: Il presume that
the officials have only done what
they have a legal right to do,
but in justice to the rest of the
county it would seem to be the duty
of the city to look after these cases
themselves, as other cities and vii
lagos in the county have done. for
it is certainly unfair to ask the
county to pay a larger sum for the
care of tramps coming to Lancaster
than they have to pay for those
going to other places in the county"
GEO. B. CLEMENTSoN. There
seems to me to be only one reason

that is a county work house, which
would soon put an end TO their
visits"
JOHN AND FRANK SCHREINER:
I'VE feel that the course being pur-
sued in the care of tramps in
Lancaster is an injustice to the bal
ance of the county, and we would
favor having them cared for IN the
lookup when it is necessary, and
them get rid of them as quickly as
possible"
SHERIFF BUDWORTH: Il do not
consider the comparisons that
have been made between Lancas
ter and other towns IN the county
are fair to this city, for the reason
that the law requires Migrants 10
be taken care of, and they all
naturally gravitate to the county
seat towns IN the cold season. If
tramp comes and asks to be com
mitted to Jail, and refuses to to go
away, an official is obliged to act in
the matter for the protection of

Auction Printing.

The Herald has been favored with
numerous orders for auction print
ing during the past two weeks, our
work seeming to find much favor
with those who have tried it. In
this connection we call attention to
the fact that this Office Is equipped
for turning out good work and
doing it promptly. Further than
that, with each order for bills we
also publish an advertisement of the
sale in the Herald, which has a
large general circulation throughout
the county twice each week. In
this way the particulars of the sales
are brought to the direct attention
many more people than usually see
the bills, and form a most valuable
feature of the transaction.

Acting in accordance with a deci
sion arrived at during the recent
session of the county board, W. j.
Brennan, chairman of the board,
went before the mayor and city
council last Tuesday evening to
lay before them a statement and
figures relative to the care of tramps
in Grant county during the past
year, and to demonstrate against
the policy prevailing for their care.
There was not quorum present,
and no session was held, but Mr..
Brennan informally brought the
matter to the attention of those who
we're there and showed that the ar
rest, housing and feeding of Migrants
in the past twelve months amounts
to tidy sum. of which the pre-
ponderance has been incurred in
this city. Statements had been
obtained from various villages in
the county as to the cost incurred
IN each place for such purpose, the
showing as submitted by Mr..
Brennan, being as follows:
City of Lancaster. 81 tramps $647. 81
Fennimore village, IL tramps rs
Bloomington village T 1 so
Montfort village -. . 500
Muscoda village, 100 buns" IL 50
Potosi village, 80 tramps " Is 90

late to Lancaster directly, are

caster had no knowledge of them
and that if they had, that in my
opinion they would condemn such
action.
I also told the members OF that
committee l would call the city
councils attention to these claims
anu ask them to stop it, if possible.
'Siuce the county board adjourn
ed have investigated the accounts
of the several officers and l find that
there were 81 tramps committed to
the county Jail from the city of Lam
caster and that the expense from
the bills filed amounted in round
numbers to $647 SO, making an
average of cost for each tramp a
trifie over $3.50.
II also found the costs to-
other villages and cities in the conn
ty, as filed before the board, to be
as follows: -Fennimore village, II
tramps rs; Bloomington village,
81. so; Observation-Disclosures OO;Muscoda
village, 100 buns, 81 35; Potosi
village, 80 tramps, SIS 90; Boscobel
city, % tramps. S. SO; Platteville
city presented no bill for tramps,
but | find in looking over the sever
al claims that one tramp had been
committed by Justice TRADER upon
complaint Of the city marshal.
'4As will be seen there has been a
considerable difference IN the cost
OF other villages and cities for
tramps as compared with the city
Of Lancaster. and it seems to me
that every citizen in the city should
condemn the matter of committing
tramps to the county, Jail and
them at cost OF S12. SO
each.
How would the citizens OF Ian
caster like it If the 100 tramps of
Muscoda were committed to the
county Jail by the village officers of
Muscoda? IL it would cost at the
same rate that each tramp from
Lancaster costs the county, consid-
ering the mileage from the city OF
MuscOda to Lancaster and return
and the cost of conveying each
tramp would add to the SIP so about
SO so, then the average cost for
each Muscoda tramp would be about
$23. 90 or total of $25O0.00
Under such condition we would
have to pay for the keeping of
tramps at Muscoda about $3.50
The statement has been made that
because Lancaster is the county
seat, tramps come here purposely
TO be committed to the county Jail; |
this is not denied by anyone. 1t has
also been said that if they are re-
fused commitment they will steal
or break window If that holds |
good in Lancaster, why should it |
not hold good in any other city or
village in the county? Would they
not steal or break window in Bos-
cobel in order to be gwen the COM
to the county jail and a
free ride thereto instead of having
to walk across the country? Such
to me seems foolish
IF the calaboose in Lancaster is
unfit to put tramps in or any other
person, then it is time that proper
calaboose was built"
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1907-12-07

ETC.. $3.50 80; clerk of court, $12 rs.
Total $647. 50.
The table at the head of this
column shows In detail the in
dividual arrests made in this city
and the cost incurred in taking care
of each, together with the date of
commitment.
Mr.. Brennan's assumption is that
the Officials concerned are causing
an unnecessary expense to the
county by arresting and committing
for 10 days every vagrant who
comes this way. Whereas in the
villages and cities other than the
county seat they are locked up for
one night, given a feed of bologna
and crackers and hustled along on
their way, at cost merely nominal.

Heffelfnger. the famous guard at Yale in the '90s, now a prosperous business man of the west, recently told a story of a countryman who, with his wife, had come down to New Haven to see the ''footballers.
 The rural one had walked around the stalwart Heffelflnger with an air of critical curiosity. much as he might have surveyed horse he was about to purchase.
 "Sary!" he called to his wife.
 What is it?"

Spring Meeting of Team Managers
 Called for To-day.

President Claude A. Terrell of the Connecticut Interscholastic Football association yesterday issued a call for the spring meeting of the team managers to be held in Meriden this afternoon.
 It is expected that the following schools will ask for admission to the league, and will have representatives at the meeting. New Haven, Derby, Naugatuck and Waterbury These schools met in New Haven last week Ito consider the formation of sec on league but after debate decided to apply for admission, in a body, to the first-formed association.
 The teams in the league now are Meriden, Hartford, New Britain and Bridgeport. It is not likely that all four teams will be admitted to the league, as six clubs are thought to be enough for the opening year of the league.
 The schedule for the coming season will be made out and other import ant business brought before the meeting.
