In the matter of taking care of the INDECENT
sick of this county.
IN this matter the Board have received sew
eral proposals from Physicians for establishing
a County Hospital and taking care Of the In
dgent sick during the coming year. Upon a
careful examination Of the accounts allowed
for taking care of the INDECENT sick, for the
year 1856, the Board find that they amount to
a much smaller sum than any of the proposals
that have been presented to them, and after due
consideration have concluded not to accept any
Of the proposals offered, but that the INDECENT
sick shall be taken care of, and provided for as
hcrctofore-to wit: BY application to any
Of the Supervisors, who will procure such care
and medical attendance as may be deemed
necessary, and no bills will be allowed by the
Board unless they are accompanied by the or
der of one of the Supervisors.
On account of the non-payment of large
portion of the taxes of 1855, the Court House
Fund has fell short of the amount it was an
ticipated would be collected, to be appropriated
to the payment of the Court House and keep it
in repair, and, as it is probable that large
amount of tax of 1855 now remaining unpaid,
VIII never be collected, from the fact that many
of the dciaquentS have left the county, and
much OF the property then assessed, has van
|, shed to parts unknown, from which it would
be no easy matter for our Sheriff to collect
what is due this county. And as there is yet n
considerable sum to bepaid on the Court House,
the Board have deemed it necessary to levy a
tax of ten cents on each hundred dollars of as
scsscd property, to meet the deficiency.
In 1852, a portion of the debt of this county
was funded and bonds issued to the amount of
twcnty-one thousand dollars, bearing interest
at the rate of five per cent. per year and paya-
bic in 1860.
The funding act provided that a tax of fifteen
cents on the hundred dollars should be made to
pay the interest and gradually redeem the
; Bonds Had this tax been collected and ap-
propriated in conformity with the law, a large
portion of this funded debt would have been
paid, but rs yet none OF the bonds have been
redeemed, and now we have to provide for their
r payment within the next three years
f In consideration of this fact the Board have
thought proper to have the law amended. so
as to allow them special tax of thirty cents.
instead of fifteen from which, it is believed am
amount can be derived, which if properly ap-
propriated will be sufficient to pay both the
principal and interest Of the Bonds, at the time
they arc due.
