County Clerk, Pierce County. Wis.
Report OF District Attorney read and referred
to the Finance Committee.
To the County Board. Pierce County, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:
The offices Of the Sheriff and the District
Attorney are more or less handicapped IN Pierce
County in the enforcement OF the State Prohibl-
ton Law due to the lack OF available funds with
which to pay for investigations.
Reliable reports come to my offlcc very
frequently naming certain citizens as being habitual
violators of this law, but the Sheriff is unable
TO apprehend them due to the fact that his where
abouts is watched and he is so well known IN all
parts of the County.
In my opinion, in order TO properly enforce the
State Prohibition Law, it is necessary that fund
be set aside which may be used by the District
Attorney to employ outside assistance in making
these investigations.
would therefore recommend to your body,
that you set aside the sum OF S5OOOO tor said
purposes, and provide that the same shall be
disbursed in payment OF accounts which shall be
certified TO by the District Attorney as properly
payable from this fund,
This has been done in other Counties with
satisfactory results An experienced operator can
be secured at the rate of about $1,000 per day
to make these investigations, and it doesnt
generally take more than two three days to
apprehend any one violator.
Respectfully submitted
KENNETH S. WHITE,
District Attorney.
