Jail Boosts
Treasury
The Chattooga County Jail
has brought more than SBO,OOO
into the county's coffers during
the first six months of the year
and if the trend continues, the
funds will end up bein%:he
equivalent of the county's bond
payment on the facility, accor
din to Sheriff Gary
Mcgonnell.
The revenues resulted from
the Lail boarding é:risoners for
Cobb and Dade Counties and
Trenton and Summerville,
McConnell said.
A total of $80,065 was bill
ed during the period of January
through June, he said, in
cluding $58,155 to Cobb Coun
ty, 315.335 to Dade County,
$1,350 to Trenton and $1,255
to Summerville.
Of the total, he estimated,
some $65,000 is *'profit,” over
the cost of providing food and
laundry services.
As an example, on Wednes
dai' he said the county would
bill other cities and counties
$575 for boarding prisoners
while the costs will be only
$126.27, giving the county a

“profit’” of $448.73.
The amount for the last six
months may be higher than for
the first six months, he said,
because he increased the boar
ding rate from sls for Cobb,
Dade and Trenton and $lO for
Summerville to $25 daily as of
July 1.
Although he said he didn’t
have the exact figure available,
he suspects the amount ex
pected to be ‘‘profit” in 1986
will be at least $130,000, close
to the fundin%amount needed
to make jail bond ?ayments.
““The jail is paying for itself,"
he said.
Cobb County is using the
jail with increasing frequency,
accordingbeto the figures,
averaging between $10,200 and
almost $12,000 per month in
the last four months. Dade's
use has also picked up, from
$2,460 in January to $4,515 in
June. Trenton'’s use is usually
around S2OO per month,
although it hit $435 in Mary.
Summerville was billed
$750 in May and $475 in June,
the sheriff’s figures show.
Tracy Matney, 212 Allred
Street, Summerville, on
Wednesday.
Officer Ford said Sammy
Floyd, 102 Mitchell Street,
Summerville, complained Mon
day about someone firing a
gun, saying that pellets were
alling in his yard. Officer Ford
said he found that Robert
Wolford, 707 W. Washington

a firearm. The snake was dead
after the incident.
A radio, two sreakers and
S4O cash were stolen from the
car of Gregory Scott, Route 4,
Box 14, Summerville, Monday
night, said Officer Larry Ben
nett. The items were vafi'xed at
$340.
A bicycle lost from a trunk
of a car in Summerville was
located by Trion police
Wednesday, according to
reports. Officer Ford said Cecil
Herod, 102 Goodwin Drive,
reported his wife went to pick
up their grandson at the Sum
merville fi;creation Center last
Saturday and put his 10-speed
bicycle in the trunk of her car.
It fell out and when Mrs.
Herod turned around to pick it
up, officers said, someone was
loading it into their car.
However, the tag number of
the vehicle was noted and
reported to eéaolice. The bike
was recovered by mid-week by

that area. No charges were
filed.
