quired to put stop TO a cock fight?
Sheriff Burns believes eight the re-
CURED number, and he employed that
many In stopping main billed for
the village Of Ecorse on Dec. %. The
board OF county auditors believes tie
main could have been stopped as well
with four men, and the sherifrs bill

The auditors also took another fall
out OF the sheriff when they passed a
resolution informing that official that
hereafter the board will not pay for
any supplies purchased for the jail,
except food, unless the buying was
done by the auditors themselves. For
several years the sheriff has been buy
ing clothing, blankets, shoes. ice. med

but the auditors recently discovered
that they alone are empowered To
make these purchases, hence the res.
