T1JK BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, DECEMHER 1U14.
FEEDING FIGHT IS
AGAIN TAKEN DP
Sheriff McShane Refuses to Show
Cost Figures to the Board of
County Commissioners.
BOARD IS WILLING TO PAY
But romtr Dads Wat to Kpott
What McShaae raid Oat Before
Allowing- Him a Profit of IB
Per Ceat as Agreed.
Tha Board of Countr Commissioners
"Ws are willing- to pay Sheriff MeShans
the amount due him for feed In prison
ers when ha shows the board how muen
It has cost him to feed them."
Sheriff MoShane "I want the board to
pay me, but I will not show my cost fig
ures except In a lawsuit In court. I
don't think tha board would pay me
what I ask if I did show them."
These statements made by the county
board and the sheriff and their attor
neys constituted the issue In an argu
ment which consumed nearly the entire
morning at the court house.
Bherlff McSlisns announced tluit he
was holding tin about $2,000 In fees for tha
purpose of paying tha expense of feed.
Ing prisoners pending a settlement with
the county hoard. The fees are those
received for the last quarter of J14. He
Is not required by law to account for
them until January 1.
Attorney Arthur Mullen representing
McShane, Intimated that the board would
be compelled to engage In a leaul ftgut
to collect thee fees if the feeding bills
were not settled to his satisfaction. He
declared the law making the sheriffs
office a fee office was no longer In effect
since the supreme court defeated Me
Shane's SO-centa-per-dav feeding claims.
Tha board and the sheriff agreed that
15 per oent would be a reasonable profit
to be allowed the sheriff. This left an
Issue as to what McBhane's expense had
been.
Attorney Myron Learned, who defeated
the JO-oents-per-day ctalm In supreme
court, pleaded with MoShane and his law
yer to produce their cost data. They re
fused, saying they would not Injure their
position in a poealhla lawsuit, but con
fidentially exhibited the figures to Mr.
Learned.
Board members declare they will "stand
pat" on their demand to know Mhane's
expense Incurred In feeding prisoners be
fore binding the county tc pay more than
SO cents per dsy for escli person.
