Commissioners Cut Allowance For Jail Meals
County Commissioners Edward Dechant and John E. Davidson reversed their earlier 19 cent meal rate for feeding prisoners and set a new 17 cent allowance. Republican Oscar G. Dunn joined to rescind the 19 cent action, reducing sheriff William F. Grall’s annual feed stipend by about $309 as food costs were said to be decreasing. The sheriff reportedly preferred the 17 cent rate, and the board cited lower food costs and a road show trip as reasons for the cut.
