AN ALLEGED WORK
HOUSE SCANDAL.

Editor THE Polk County Republican.
Many reports are being sent out against
various county officials. These reports
are being denied by the accused but there
is one report that is not denied by any one.
1t is about the work house chain gang, to
use Georgia expression. These men are
responsible for their food and clothing and
must give them medical attention etc. Now
we are told that these men have been hired
out to the pike road commissioners. This
is all right they should be worksd to the
best advantage to the county. We are
told that they get So, to So per day from
the pike road commissioners. They are
credited with ST per day on their fine and
costs. The people are wondering where
the rest goes.
The trustee has paid out over 1920
to Sheriff Biggs for the work these men do.
We hear of no one paying this fund over
to the county. 1t looks like this should
belong to to the taxpayers and would not
DC TIC property vi TIC sHcTiIi, because nc
can hire them out for more than the ST.
per day that they have allowed by law, even
the ST per day allowed BY law has not been
paid TO the trustee. We are all wondering
if there is going to be scandal in the
county work house.
Mr.. Editor will you give this space in your
paper end also print the answer that we
may know the truth of the matter?
