Sheriff Reaffirms 18 Cents a Meal Contract Renewal
Sheriff Carl R Finegan maintained the 18 cents a meal rate in a county board session on renewing the jail feeding contract. Commissioners debated lowering costs to 16 or 15 cents, but the sheriff insisted on the existing rate, noting that shifting to county cooks and outside laundry would raise overall expenses. The board eventually favored renewing at 18 cents, with possible offsets like reassigning jail housing to county engineering, while jail matron Ella Armstrong and Deputy Davidson’s pay remained unsettled.

Two Trucks Collide Head-On Near LaPorte Kills Two Drivers
Two large New York state semi trailers crashed head-on on Route 10 about a mile east of LaPorte just before 7 AM. George Jarose 30 of Cohoes and John Romeo 33 of Troy were killed.

Deputy sheriffs, Ridgeville firefighters, and local funeral homes were mobilized as the wreck burned for hours and traffic was diverted.
