New stove for the jail
“WE’VE GOT TO HAVE a stove at the jail,” Sheriff John Walker Jenkins informed the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors at their October meeting last Thursday. “The one we’ve got pops and carries on and puts out little heat.”
“Oh my goodness!” exclaimed Supervisor Herbert Foster, who has earned a reputation as the Board’s chief guardian of the pursestrings. “Money, money, money!”
“The stove’s no count, and it really doesn’t even belong to the county,” Sheriff Jenkins insisted. “The County borrowed it 12 to 15 years ago to finish out a winter, and it was never taken back.”
Jenkins thought a new one could be acquired from the Co-op for around $240, “Cheap.”
Chairman Newbill Miller asked: “Mr. Foster, will you make a motion?”
“The jets and things, can’t you...?” Foster began, and then Mrs. Betty Coates went ahead and made a motion to approve the purchase of a new stove; her motion was seconded by H. B. Wood Jr. The appro* ving vote was unanimous. □
