AOH nhb NOot.
In connection with the increase in the
cost of the administration of justice in
Vermont for the 10 months from July,
1921, the beginning of the fiscal year, to
May, 1922, as compared with the cor
responding period the previous year, the
increase in Windham county for the
same period is interesting
The increase for the entire state was
S4G,610.S0 In Windham county the in
crease was SIC, 20, or more than
one-fourth that of the whole state
The largest item of increase in the
county was for detective service, as
shown by the figures in the state audi
tors Office. Detective service in this
county for the last 10 months cost So
965.22 as against $1,29019 for the cor
responding period the year before. which
IS an increase of $j.675.03. The total
increase for detective service in the
state was S9,16090 considerably more
than half of which was in Windham
county.
States Attorney Harold e. Whitney
says the actual cost Of the employment
of detectives in this county during the
period in question was less than $500
and that the sum of S6.96522 set
against this county in the state auditors
othce doubtless includes a part of the
expense of employing officers in connec-
ton with the strike troubles at Bellows
Falls last summer.
Another large increase, upwards of
$1,000, is in the witness and jury de-
bentures paid by the county clerk, this
being due to increased pay provided by
the legislature.
Following IS a comparison of the diff
ferent items of expense in this county.

the months from July, 1920, to May.
