Contract fcidlnr law, under which tin count)' hai been feeding Its prisoner at A cost of H conts ft. day each, mi neld unconstitutional by the Mate Buprcme court at Lincoln yesterday. The supreme court's decision Is a victory for Sheriff Felix J. McShane. Jr.. In his flsiht nltn the Board of County Commlsalonera to.' the privilege of feeding tho prlaoncr H means $13,000 to ,30.000 a year to the man holding the nherJtr office. C6unty CommlHctoner John C. Lynch who led the county board In Its flaht agajnat the sheriff, Iiab not yet Riven up. He Is conferring with his attorney, John r. Btout, with a view to continuing the battle. What steps will be taken Is not yet Itnown, nor oven decided. The IckIk lalure may be asked to enact a. new law providing for contract feodlns and fret from the defects upon which the supremo court has Wed Its rutins'. Former Depatlea Case. One of the last nets of the democratic oontrolled Board of County Commission rs of 1011 was the awarding of the prlt ener feeding contract to Mrs. M. King, .1 relative of Sheriff McShane, though W Gardipee and Ira Flanagan had subm.o'J a lower bid. Gardipee And Klanr yln in district court had the awai',u aside, and the republican coryjjled boattf f 1113 awarded the convt to Gardipee and Flanagan at IP r X a day a prisoner. McShane cc . Atca this In the district court and ,Jt. He denied the constltu. Oonallty A the contract law, holdlnjr that for eV law allowing the sheriff 38 cents a a prisoner still was in force. Tht Uprema court has sustained him. The rtnclp&l attack on the contract law wa that Its title did not conform to Its pro vision. Sheriff Feeds Prisoner. Under the supreme court's ruling tho county must let no more contracts for prisoner feeding, but must let tho sheriff board the prisoners and the county must pay him 8 cents a day for each prisoner ho boards, where heretofore It has paid around is cents for each prisoner fed by the contractors. The contract law was passed a few years ago because tho prisoner feeding perquisite had made the sheriff's offlco a huge financial plum much sought after and the ejccemlve cost for meals served by the sheriff was a heavy drain upon the county treasury. The law was not attacked until Sheriff McHhane failed to (and the contract for hmslf or a relative and determined to get the business of feeding the prisoners In one way or another. Xnat Trr II Avaln. The supreme court remanded for re trial Sheriff Methane's suit against the state Involving the payment the sheriff may vea'ct for keeping stnto prisoners. This Mils tried In the Lancaster county district court. During a period of several week between tho time of voldance or the King contract and award of the Gardipee and Flanagan contract, the sheriff fi 'the. county prisoners at the rate of 1$ cents a day each. The, sheriff during tills time kept several state jrls oner for. a day or two. After sentence (o the penitentiary a prisoner becomes a Htalo prisoner. The atato has to pay for his keeping In the county Jail between sentence and delivery to the penitentiary. Under a etalo law the sheriff tried to oharfte. the atato CO oents n day for such prisoners. Tho slato auditor allowed him but II Cents a day, holding he must feed statu prisoners at tho same rate charged tar county prisoners. McShano sued In the- Lancaster county district' court and, losing, appealed.
