HIGH terms of contracts for it seems
their terms were better than were offered by
any other persons. 1t seems from our ex-
pcrience, however, that the system will not
do. therefore the sooner it is done with and
the pauper farm sold, the better. Again.
the county system Of pauperism cannot ie-
galy be continued after the present contract
because by law, each town must provide for
its own paupers-a much better plan, IN our
opinion. There will then he fewer sham
paupers than now. The friends and rela-
tves of the paupers in the towns will un-
dertake their support for very small reinu-
neration, so that they may still remain with
them. The people of each town VIII know
by actual observation, what persons are
really in need of assistance as paupers-less
imposition will be practiced upon the towns
than is now practiced upon the county, in
regard to swelling the expenses OF paupers
who are taken sick before they can be put
in the poor house, and less difficulty in pla-
cling them in the town poor house than IN
the county poor house when they are taken
sick. Each taxpayer IN every town VIII
feel an interest in limiting the expense OF
pauperism in his own town for these and
various other reasons, we prefer the plan OF
leaving every town to take care of It's own
paupers. We call attention to this subject
now, not in a spirit of reproach toward any
body but that the county may consider
what is to be done in the premises. Wheth-
er the county farm shall be sold, or what
disposition shall be made of III Also that
people may consider how paupers will be
best and most economically provided for by
the towns. Can better plan be adopted
than to let each pauper be separately dis
posed of OF annual town meetings, to good
responsible man, who will make the lowest
bid! A farmer can often find some light
work for one pauper to do, sufficient to pay
his board, perhaps, when he would not have
employment for more than one.
IL is our candid opinion, that if the towns
take upon their own shoulders, the burden
of pauperism, they ,CiN scarcely feel The
igeigM Of IL.
