The Grand Jury observe with
qualification disposition with the
County Com missioners to lessen ma
terially the expenses of the county:
In the matter of the poor house
alone the curtailment of expenses
has been very marked. Last year
the expenses of the poor house, in
round numbers, were six thousand
dollars. From the 1st of January to
the 18th of June of this, year the
total expenses of the poor house have
been sl,373.60. and it is estimated
that three thousand dollars will cover
the entire outlay on account of that
institution for this year. We COM
mend the Commissioners for what
they have accomplished by way of
reform, but at the same time would
remind them there is still room for
retrencbment. In the judgment Of
the Grand Jury, heretofore, an undue
PROPORTION of Injuries has beon in
cluded in the quantity of provisions
furnished to the poor house They
respectfully submit that, while the
panpers OF the county may justly
claim an adequate supply of whole
some. food, they are BY no means ell
titled to luxurious living.
Lu,this connection the Grand Jury
would state that they visited the
Poor House by a COMMITTEES from
their body. They found twenty:
eight inmates, all apparently well
cared for. There are besides, four
laborers. :, These. with the imatrs
and Steward and family, make about
forty to be supported at the expe' Sc
of the County. Since the last report
of the Grand Jury, three deaths have
occurred, and five panpers have been
received. - .
The County Debt, though a much
vexed question, is subject to which
the Grand. Jury have gwen the gray
est consideration. They are persuad
cd that no real prosperity can be en-,
enjoyed by the County until she shall
have been relieved Of the incubus OF
debt, which now presses so sorely
upon her. This debt has at length
assumed gigantic and alarming pro
portions. ..
Something must be done to relieve
the county of pecuuiary embarrass
ment. To continue to borrow none.
at enormous rates Of interest is rum
ous. Tu attempt to provide for tn
current. expenses of the county y:
adherence to the credit system
even worse. The monetary opera
tions Of the county must be conducte
on q cash basis, otherwise the affair
of the county cannot be administers
on strictly economical principles.
