jefferson Ordered To Hold
Library Funds In Deposit

The case has warranted much
interest locally since, should the
Law Library Association force the
village to pay in said monies by
legal processes, other Madison
County communities will be forced
to do The same.
The Law Library currently
spends between S25OO and $4,000
per year on books and improve
ments, according to reports. The
case comes assslhe result of an old
Ohio law which requires certain
fine money to be paid into law Ii
braries. 1t is. generally believed
that unless such law is amended
,or repealed, the evillages and cities
of Ohio will be forced to pay such
monies. The Law Library Associa-
tion uses. what money it needs and
returns the balance to the muniG-
palities under the present system.

Glass Legislation
Says BraithWaite

The Madison County Law Ii
brary Association apparently won
the first round of a legal battle in
Madison County Court when Judge
William d. Radcliffe, Circleville,
granted a temporary injunction
which requires that the Village OF
West Jefferson hold fine monies
collected by Mayor Homer Braith-
waite in deposit.
Mayor Braithwaite, backed by
the Village Council, has contendedi
that payments to the Law Library,
Association is class legislation"
and that the only persons benefit
ting by such library are lawyers,
Thus, the Village of West Jeffer-
son has refused to pay in monies
collected on fines for nisdemean-
orS which is ear-marked to be paid
into the association. The monies,
paid to the association go for legal
books, furniture and other equip
ment for the law library here.
The Law Library Association
contends that over $4,000 is pay
able from the West jefferson
treasury into the association
funds. The petition filed against
the Village of West Jefferson
claims that the treasurer of the
village refuses to pay in the money
as set down by law and that May
or Braithwaite refuses to pay in
monies which he may collect in the
future.

ers who had sawed a foot-long
piece of steel bar from the bull
pen Another bar was found par
italy sawed through, Sheriff Har-
old Bidwell said. The bull-pen, the
sheriff explained, is an enclosure
inside the regular Jail. THE pris-
oners would have had to saw out
of the enclosure too if they had ex-
pected to escape" the sheriff said.
A recently enacted Ohio law
makes an attempted or actual jail
break a felony and Sheriff Bid
we'll has filed charges against four
of the inmates implicated in the
attempt. Should the inmates be
found guilty of such attempt, long
prison terms may be given them,
it was said.
Investigation also disclosed that
the wife of one of the inmates is
suspected of smuggling the hack
saw blades within the confines of
the Jail during visiting hours.
Charges will be filed against her
as an accomplice, the sheriff said.
Conviction for jailbreaking carries
6 months workhouse sentence or

Fire And Police
Request Increases
At Council Meet

London Police and Firemcn,
through spokesman German Clark,
Chief of Police, requested pay in
creases at the latest meeting of
the London City Council. Accord
ing to reports, all firemen and po-
licemen had presented a written
request which was handed to the
council. The council has turned the
matter over to the finance COM
mittee for study and recommended
tions. Committee members are
William Robson, chairman, Sam
Landes, B. V. Chesbrough and
Charles Richmond.
The increases requested asked
pay hikes for firemen as follows:
John Jack" Gallagher, from S215
per month to $275 per month;
Charles Mercer, 1920 to S275 per
month; Robert Stewart, 1920 to,
$275. Chief Dilwyn Andrews asked
an increase from $225 to $500 per
month.
Police filed requests for pay
hikes as follows: Chief German
Clark, $3.50 per month to $3.50;
John Sherman, $235 to $500; Otto
Daily, 1925 to $3.50; Oscar Payne,
S225 to 1865; Eugene Russell, S225
to $3.50. Two other members of
the force, William Smack" Col
den and Guy Daily have not re-
quested increases. Golden has not
been active on the force for several
years and receives $3.50 per
month. Daily, an extra policeman,
receives $110 per month.
Should the increases be allowed.
officials said, the total increase
would be about S624O per year. It
was pointed out, however, that
such increase applies only to po-
lice and fire and that other city
departments would probably ask
raises in the near future.
