To the honorable Board of Supervis

Your committee appointed to in
vestigate the claims of Charles Hanke
and of the Persohn Company for the
feeding of Villas county prisoners
begs leave to report to this board
that they hare written to numerous
other counties to find out what is
customary in those particular coun
ties and how they go about it in ar
irving at the expense paid TO the
sheriff for similar work and services
We have letters which we are at
taching to this part of the report
and we note that the counties o.
Florence and Forest. two counties
that are practically the only counties
in the state similar to our own, not
only in size, but population, vocation
and taxation as we'll. We find thai
one pays the sheriff twenty-five cent:
meal for each prisoner, as shown b.
his docket or record, while the othel
pays the sum Of one dollar and TWEEN
ty-fve cents per day, and that thu
sheriff does the best he can on thu
given amounts in the line of diet.
We have also requested an officia
legal opinion from our own district
attorney as to said bills, ETC., and hi
opinion speaks for itself.
Therefore, in view of above circum.
stances and the law we hereby recon
mend to this board that the bill o.
the Persohn Company be disalloweC
except for the amount of S14.69 as
covered under page dated 4-28, 1919
which includes court hoase and jail
expense which we believe proper anC
reasonable charges; and that as tx
Charles Hanke's claim of 1855 .65, thai
the claim be disalloWed except the
two charges, viz: laundry for prison
ers at $500 and washing blankets al
1886.
In addition thereto, In order tt
cover the actual reasonable expense
of feeding the county prisoners dur
ing said period, and we find but the
one, viz: Joe Zellner from January
to Feb. 6, when he was released, W.
recommend that the county pay sale
sheriff the sum of one dollar day, OF
total of Thirty-one dollars 1881 00).
Inasmuch as other counties similar
to ours are paying the sheriff Csc {
meal for those meals actually served
to county prisoners, and S1.25 day
and after interviewing our owI
/ sheriff in the matter, we do hereby
recommend the sum of one dollar {
day be paid the sheriff based upoI
his docket or records in lieu of filing
actual bills for groceries, etc., fur
nished, or any other method, and thai
any other bills before the board al
this meeting be dealt with in thu
same manner, as well as the future.
We understand that he has alread!
received his pay from the federal gov
eminent for the one federal prisone
held; however, this we have nothing
to do with.
Respectfully submitted,
