to emerge by letting the bills remain
exactly as they were reported.
II is true that the new laws are ex-
tremely favorable to the sherifs ara
several of the latter appeared before
committees during the session and ex-
pressed their full approval and apprec-
iation of the proposed measures. The
sheriff gets a salary, which, by The
way. in itself constitutes an ample re-
compense for his labors, gets the fees
for serving civil process and, as indi-
Gated herwith, gets the lions share of
the mileage
These measures were loudly lauded
as tending to reduce the costs of the
administration Of justice, but, as a
matter of fact, the sheriffs get practi-
cally as much salary as they formerly
received in fees and have in addition
all this civil business and what seems
very like a monopoly of the commit
fent privileges"
Decidedly the Herald would say
that being sheriff in any Vermont
county ought to constitute very
pretty little arrangement and that il
