Failure of a cartage company to observe weight laws, Thursday led to, the discovery of a 1,500 gallon load of alcohol that was being sent to Milwaukee. $15,000 BOOZE LOAD CAPTURED: HOLD 2 DRIVERS Motorcops Get Big Truck Be-- cause It Is Overweighted and Then Find Alcohol The truck, property of the Eagle Cartage company, 832 Teutonia ave nue, Milwaukee, was so weighted down that Jack Daley and Lyle Lit-- weiler of the state highway force, halted it and ordered it to the side of the road for weighing. As they were at their task two of the county motorcycle police, Wil liam Kelly and Harry Quandy Inveg- tigated the contents of the'-' load. They discovered the alcohol and re-- ported the fact to Sheriff Lawrence Doolittle and Capt. George Hecking-- er, of the county highway police. The drivers, Ernest Keener and Kenneth, both of Chicago, were tak-- en to the county jail and held in default of $5,000 bonds. Fines of $1,000 were recommonded in each case. They declared that the actual cost of the cargo must have been $8,000. The retail value was placed at $15,-- 000 as the nearness of the holidays bas forced the liquid up to $10 a gallon. _--_The arrest was made on Green Bay road--near Lake Bluff at mid-- night. The two county and two -- state men were covering the same terri-- tory. Daley and Litweiler noticed Here is to be had a great array of the more practical gifts.

As they are requested to gearch no cars by the state departmant Kelly and Quandt took advantage of the situa-- tion and looked over the load. This happened to (be the first night that the motor cops worked under the new ruling of the board of supervisors that allows the reten-- tion of the force out of the earnings of the sheriff. The fines do not go toward the earning of the sheriff but to the states attorneys fund. The truck is being hbeld pending the payment of the fines.

On the present ratio the county is keeping $6,252.45 under it ap propriation each quarter. COUNTY KEEPS: UNDER BUDGET BY BlG RATIO End of First Quarter Shows Board Is Operating at $25,009 Below Estirnate "I feel confident that we. will keep under the appropriation this year. So far it is very encourag-- ing." Supervisor A. E. Vercoe, High-- land Park, chairman of the finance committee, said. For all purposes it was deemed necessary to expend $495,3090 for the year. The first three months call-- ed foro $117,572.55. This [leaves $378,059.65 for the remaining nine. Only one department showed an overdraft. That was on foreign witness fees where $200 had been set aside. Thus far $557 'has been spent or an-- overdraft ofg $3317. Bringing witnesses here for the ex-- pensive treasury trial is believed te sponsible in a large way for this. The county hospital has kept well within its budget thus far but the biggest bills will be presented by this institution at the next meeting as most of the buying is done after Jan. 1. according to Mr. Vercoe. The budget for 1928--29 was prac-- tically the same as the preceding year although there was an allow-- ance of $25,.000 to remodel the coun-- ty poor farm at Libertyyville. It is believed by members of the county farm committee that not more than §22.000 of this sum will be spent.
