ticipated, together with bounties,
amounting to about 81 900, completely
drained the county treasury of all its
surplus and outstanding funds, and
has rendered necessary some decisive
action on the part Of the Relief Board.
That body has become satisfied that a
large number Of those who became ap-
plicants have not only means to sup
port themselves, but also that in many
cases, after they were put upon the
list, no effort whatever was made eth
er to earn something towards a living
or economize with what they had
The Board never designed, nor was it
the intention of the law, to support such
families except in extra cases, and any
recruiting parties or individuals who
made promises beyond temporary aid,
did so without authority and must as
sumo the responsibility themselves.
Tomorrow the Relief Board meets to
revise the entire list, commencing with
the valley townships; on Friday Gran
vile and the up-river districts will be
heard; and on Saturday Lewistown,
Derry and Decatur. Taxpayers thro'
out the county are invited to attend
and give such information as to the
means and ability of applicants as will
enable the Board to act understand
ingly in their cases. Their desire is to
give aid where it is actually needed,
and to withhold it where it is not need
ed and thus keep the fund for those
for whom it was intended.
