-- ~PAGE TWO The finance committee, headed by Supervisor A. E. Vereoe, of High-- land Park, pointed out that there was every reason to believe that the earnings of the office for the next year would be greater. No ap-- propriation was made, although the corps acted all summer on an emer-- gency fund. Those men who serve with Heck-- inger are William Kelly, Walter Gansberg, John De Smidt, William Klarkowski, and Harry Quandt. This gives the sheriff an active staff of 11 men including himselt. The county highway patrol, con-- sisting of five deputies headed by Supt. George Heckinger, which was threatened with extinction by the board of sgsupervisors for lack of funds 'to provide for the corps, was approved Thursday after the finance committee agreed to allow Sheriff Lawrence Doolittle to operate the pgyce from the earnings of his of-- fice. In the last ten months the sheriff has turned over $6,306.01 to the treasurer as excess earnings.
