Tennessee sheriffs seek bills on attachment costs and autos
Sheriff W J Bacon of Shelby County travels to Nashville to push a bill under a Tennessee statute that would reimburse sheriffs for livestock feed and housing costs but not for automobile storage. Attorney Charles M Bryan drafted three bills to affect sheriffs statewide with Representative Alan Maxwell introducing them. One bill requires plaintiffs to post security for auto attachments to cover storage and related charges if the suit fails. The other would limit sheriff liability for money collected by deputies unless suits are filed and records kept.
