G.. DAIMLER WAS on motion declared
unanimously elected County Treasurer.
On motion the committee on finance
was instructed to make a settlement
with the deputy Of the late Co. Treas'r.
Report of the com. on poor was read
is follows
Your com. on poor, appointed by last
Board, most respectfully ask leave to
submit the following 1t seemed neces-
sary to the committee to inquire how
many patients we could send to the In
sane Asylum, and how soon, and IS the
case of Ars. Rushka was not attended
to by the County Board of Winnebago
County, upon consultation it was found
necessary that some one go to Oshkosh
to INQUIRE into the matter above stated; !;
so late in December the Chairman of the
County Board of Supervisors and the
chairman Of the com. on poor went to
Oshkosh, and on visiting the hospital
near that city, learned that we could send
about or insane persons to said asy-
lum by the middle Of January, 1876.
Upon presentations made by the above
designated persons about the crowded
and unhealthy condition of our Jail, the
Superintendent of the asylum promised
to take as many as possible. Through
the neglect of the Legislature to make
the necessary appropriations III time, the
transfer WAS delayed some time; but late
in March we received letters that we
could send y patients. 1t was however
thought best to send only 10 and keep
two vacancies to be filed by new and
more hopefal cases. AS to the case OF
Mrs. Rushka, we found that the matter
was referred to the commissioners Of
poor, Elbridge Smith, ESQ, Chairman.
| To him the chairman of yorf committee
applied, but without avail for some time.
Finally IN March a letter was received
asking several questions about said pau
| per, which said questions were promptly
answered By the chairman of your COM
mittee, butt no. answer WIS: received.
! Further letters also remained unansweT--
| ed, 50 the chairman Of the com. on poor
went over to Menasha again to see Mr..
tSmitIl, but did not find him at home. A
letter giving all the information neces-
sary was left in Mr.. Smiths residence,
but remained unanswered till yesterday,
| when the accompanying letter was re-
ceiyed.
The letter above referred to contained
in short that Mrs. Rushka gained no set
tlement in Winnebago county.
The above report was referred to the
committee on poor.
