State Lawyers: Free Home Part Of Sheriff's Salary
The state justice department ruled that county sheriffs should receive living allowances if they do not reside in a county-provided home. The rental value of the provided residence is an integral part of the sheriff's salary, per Assistant Attorney General C. C. Sheldon in a memo to Attorney General Clarence A. H. Meyer responding to Scotts Bluff county attorney Marvin Holscher. The ruling says denying rent-free living or its value would cut the sheriff's salary during the term.
