 WILL WORK WITH BOARD IF REVENUE

Their time expired Jan- uary 1, he said. Members of the board explained this to him at the first con- ference, MT. Shirley said.
 To Retain Extra Men, Belief
 There was never any talk of re- ducing the force in the sheriff's of flee and the extra men placed on the force at the request of the Law and Order League will be retained, think" the sheriff. elect declared.
