Lawyer Disputes Sheriff's Food Bill in Logan
In Logan on December 5 the county court approved Sheriff Everett Workman's November feeding bill for prisoners at 1,441.30 despite objections by Attorney F. Paul Chambers who cited discrepancies. Chambers argued a prisoner in jail was listed for 10 days of feeding after only one hour, and another inmate billed for 10 days after four days. Workman claimed no knowledge of the errors, and jailer Charles substantiated the assertions. Some items were stricken. Chambers had urged an itemized account before approving feeding costs. For the first four months of the fiscal year feeding costs totaled 10,254.70, while the annual budget was 16,000.
