Sunday, February 26, 1961 Bids Received For County Fuel, Food And Laundry Bids were received Friday in! county court for food and laun dry services for jail prisoners and for gasoline and diesel and fuel oils. Mrs. J. M. Eritton, wife of Sheriff Murray (Red) Britton, submitted the lone bid for jail food. Her bid was 55 cents a meal. Mrs. Britton attributed a live-cent per meal increase in her bid this year to "the higher cost of food." She has supplied jail food for several years.
