TO the board OF supervisors OF your

the state government while desiring to

does not feel justified in assuming the

Jurisdiction, as indicated By their re-
peated refusals to allow the sheriff a
reasonable number Of deputies.
Too Few Deputies.
For my own part l have full conf
oence IN the disposition Of the sheriff
to prevent violent acts within his juris-
diction, but readily recognize how he
is handicapped by having a force of
only three or four deputies, whereas
he should have hundred or more
with the supervisors sanction In
the absence OF their disposition TO
cooperate, the state cannot justly be
