Police Radio System Wins Board's O.K.
The Winnebago county board reversed last week’s decision and approved a county police radio system with a $2,500 initial county share. The vote, 25 to 18, makes a $5,000 system likely, aided by private donations of $850 to $906. The sheriff and coroners committee may accept further private funds to reduce the county’s cost, with $2,500 due now and the remainder funded later after installation. Banks and private citizens have pledged support.
