FOR KEEPING PRISONERS

Members of the City Council met
with the Board of County Commission
ers yesterday afternoon on the matter
of keeping the city prisoners in the
county Jail. also on the matter Of fur
nishing rooms in the county court
house for meeting place for the City
Council and for the holding Of police
court
The Commissioners decided that
city prisoners kept in the county jail
should be paid for at the rate of sew
cnty.fvc cents a day each. 1t was
also decided that il the council wants
the two basement rooms on the east
end OF the court house building that
the county must be paid for the same
at the rate of fifty dollars per month.
The commissioners based their de
decision on the fact that the court
house is the property of the county
and its upkecp is paid for Uy the couD
ty: and the government of the Towr
of E.lkO is separate and distinct from
the county government, and that i
