SHERIFF VAN
- PELT REPLIES

Sheriff Jas. c. Van Pelt, who is
mentioned in the above cOmmunica-
ton from Mr.. Reese, was seen last
night by a Journal representative in
regard to the statements contained in
the letter The sheriff was much sur
prised at the statement that Mr..
Reese had saved the county SIS a
month, or $3.50 a year, on account of
servant hire at the county Jail. He
said:
Regarding this claim for SIS a
month, | desire to state that it was Nh
Reese who first suggested to me that l
was entitled TO fee for servant hire, at
the same time stating that there were
other fees to which l was justly emit
tied and which | was not receiving.
He suggested that | employ an attOr-
ney to arrange a list of the fees to
which | was entitled. | then suggest
ed to him, inasmuch as he was fami-
liar with the fees of county officials,
that he prepare this list. and asked
him how much he would charge for
this service, to which he replied
about S25'
Il told Mr.. Reese to go ahead and
get up the list, which he did, and
among the items contained in this list
was one for servant hire at the jail.
At the same time, he rendered me Il
bill for $50, which | paid.

Editor Pensacola journal:
BY The Journal and News of the

county commissioners have dispensed
with my services as county attorney,
for the reason. as stated by Mr.. Clop-
ton, as published in The Journal,
that he did not believe an attorney
was necessary, and that il would re-
suit in a saving of SIS per month TO
the county.
IL there is a county in the state Of
Florida that needs the services of an
attorney it is Escambia county, as
! shall proceed to show. let the chips
fall where they may.
/ was elected county attorney six
years ago last January and for five
years | received the munificent sal
airy of SIS per month or. for lie five
years, 81 500. Last year, the COM
missfoners raised the salary to SIS a
month. In the six years time l have
been attorney, l have been paid by
the county for my services $3.50.
Without the aid of my office records
before me, / have as attorney passed

ing the following claims:
