The Committee on County Affairs 10 whom
was referr' the memorial of Geo. l.. Davis, in
regard TO family relief, have examined the same
but have not been able TO get reliable informa-
ton enough to base a recommendation upon, and
the Committee think 1t proper subject for the
Supervisors Of tho Town in which the Claimant
resides, to investigate.
Your Committee would also say in this connec-
ton that while they are in favor Of the County
paying all legal claims for relief, at the same
time they think no Supervisor should draw an or
der for relief until ho is satisfied that the claim.
ant is legally entitled 10 the same.
All Of wich is respectfully submitted
