The following report Of the committee on
the county farm was, on motion accepted, aud
REFER 10 the Finance Committee. ~
To TIE Board Of Supervisors Of Hillsdale
County. gauu0 aJ aau
The undersigned, tho committee appointed
BY your honorable body, on the county farm,
respectfully report. d .t.. t.i .l,.s .,.is
That we have visited said farm and the
buildings connected herewith. We find
the farm under the supernlendence Of the
present occupant, well manag ID, and in
as good condition as its present situation
will Permit. But we regret to s"y, that
we find it very deficient in the necessary
fences for its pre- per management, and
the security of the crops raised thereon. And
while we do not suggest q remedy for this de
fciency, on account of the scarcity Of tin ber
on tho farm, suitable for the purpose of fenc-
ing, We would call the attention Of the
Board to the fact, and leave it with them 10
determine in what way, and what sum, (f
any, shall be raised TO repair the same.
We have visited the buildings, looked into,
the C ndition of the unfortunate beings there
congrcgated, aud, so far as tie circumsi ances,
and convenience of those buildings will per-
init. We are gratified to say, that under the
management Of Mr.. Forbes and lady, every
thing is kept neat and in order, and tho pau
ing,) are well taken care Of, and amply pro
vided for. But duty compels ua to say, that
the building Appropriated to their use, we
consider wholly inadequate to the wants, and
comfort of its inmates. 1t is lily constructed,
without sufficient loom either in its eating or
sleeping departments, every way inconvcr lent
to those having them in charge, and in fact,
disreputable TO the County. And we would
call the attention of the Board to the fact,
that 10 the building, there are no suitable
rooms, for the confinement of those who arc
insane or partially SO, and your committee bs
lleving that our duty 10 the unfortunate OF
this class OF pers ,ns TO say nothing OF the in
stincts of our common humanity, calls for a
separate building for that purpose, and your
committee would, therefore, recommend that
an appropriation Of 800, be raised, for the
erection ofa suitable building, therefor.
Your committee 10 whom, also, the report
Of the superintendents Of the poor was referred
would say, that they have examined said 70.
port, also the accounts Of said superintendent
with the vouchers, therefore, and find them 10
correspond with said report, and VIC tber, fore
recommend It's adoption. .,,.,...@
And we further recommend !, that there he
reised upon the taxable property Of the county
the sum Of 81 500 for the support Of the
poor. .el.- a; - la e,.,,,9..,...
All Of which is respectfully submitted.
