Vashon Island Receives No
Assurance From Sheriff

On Tuesday Of this week q COM
mittee from the Commercial Club call
ed on Commissioner Brinton and
Sheriff Bannick in an effort to per-
suade them that the residents Of
vashon-M aury Island were not in &c
cord with the proposed plan OF dis
missing Deputy Sheriff shattuck.
Both gentlemen denied responsible
ity, claiming that the fault lay with
the other. Mr.. Bannick refused to
give any assurance that deputy
would be assigned to the Island more
than month BY month. He promised
that Mr. shattuck would be given full
time service during January, but past
that point would promise nothing.
With the repeal Of the state law. ~
control OF liquor the dry squad Of the
sheriff's office became automatically
non-existent in theory, but in fact
these men, formerly paid from fines
collected that are no longer collect
ible, are being retained and deputies
In outlying districts are being put OH
half time or dismissed. Their salaries
are being used, apparently, in retain
ing members Of the out-dated protec-
tive force OF the expense Of the
criminal force. Members OF the board
Of commissioners state the sheriff is
receiving the same funds that he has
in the past, but With the liquor fines
cut off 1t is impossible to spread the
money and retain all former officers.
