An improvement in this settlement of
|be Poor House affairs over settlements
Of former years is the exhibit of the items
oi expense. Thus, VIC find that the sum
d 1885 80 was paid to various parties
turing the year for -four and grain for
he institution; that $542 43 were paid
IN meat; that s210 90 we're paid for
rOyisiOus that S1,703 26 were paid for
ehet to outdoor paupers; and that
Sl57 % we're paid for medical attendanc ce
h outdoor paupers. We also find that
3 W were paid for printing, and 81 "a
iagahOnery-the comparative :nsignif.
