Figure Your Clothes Expense
By the Year, Not by the Suit

SELL cost less because they longer and you buy
less often.

To the Voters of Iowa County:

County Clerk on Friday last that all of
the candidates for county Office on the
Democratic ticket had resigned except
yourself Don't you thing that you, in
the interest of good fellowship, ought
to do the same thing
ION Saturday last, Miss Sullivan of
the county clerk s office gave me copy
of the proceedings of the board at its
last session.
II first examined the report of the
committee on claims, turning my atten-
ton to the sheriff's bill. found that
the bin was put in at $l946. 80 and al
lowed at Sl946 80 | thought that this
was a new departure, for no matter
how honest d sheriff may be. some
things will get into the bill, which, on
inspection, was improper. | then went
and examined the bill itself. | found
that the bill should have been largely
reduced The mileage alone is excess
i've and is not reduced in a single in
stance. The conveyance of prisoners is
enormous from SO to So. No man
would pay it, You went to Blanchard
vile and Argyle and you only paid 81
and this included supper.
"A good many cases of attendance on
court with a prisoner on Warrant,
which is not proper charge and should
not be allowed either against the pris-
oner or against the county.
Prisoners for the year 768 allowed in
full. 1t was easy to ascertain that
some of the prisoners had been let out
before the term expired and no charge
should have been made when they were
not in Jail
Xxx was sent to Jail in December,
1917, for 80 days and still the sheriff
charges 80 days from January 4, 1917.
He was again sent to Jail in August,
1917. for 80 days, but was discharged
at least Is days before the expiration
of his term as you know and still the
sheriff charges 80 days.
Xxx was in Jail days and he charges
double pay for that.
Then he puts in a bill of 50 10 in the
Hanna Eyanson matter and it is al
lowed and paid by the county. This
was the case in which you were special
guardian for Carrie Johnson. These
same fees We're paid by check No. 3489.
so that the sheriff has been paid twice,
once by the county with absolutely no
claim against it, and once by Hanna
Eyenson.
Don't you think Priestley that you
looked over this bin very specifically ?
| OF course you looked over it but made
no written report thereon as the law
directed and without that report a con.
siderable part of the bin should not
have been allowed at all,
Il should hate to publish this matter
but | may have to do it.
lit is one Of the matters of your Of
fetal record should like to hear from
you in the matter.
Yours truly,
u, z. SMELKER. =
received no reply to that letter.
! was informed by the county clerk
on the oath of this month that | wa.
the only district attorney that had fIeG
any report 20 the board on such claims
II all district attorneys complied with
the law il would save the county much
money The district attorney mus,
make report in writing to the count,
board specifying the items in each bill
for which the county is or is not liable
and the extent of the liability. if ii i.
liable for part only Of any such item.
