entire mana cement of their paupers in
their towns, Your committee do
make the above report for the follow
ing reasons: First, we believe that
such a plan and change from the pres
ent system would tend materially to
lessen the expenses of maintaining
the poor in this county. Second. that
the aid and assistance necessary to be
rendered to the needy, will be more
nearly, equally, carefully, and justly
distributed among those who are sub
jects of maintenance by the county.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
