4 this department can be less for the year TO
| come. the undersigned would respectfully ask
| your Honorable Board 10 appropriate o., 600
| for the poor fund. And also as there Is de-
| hcency the present year of $780, they would
\ also ask an appropriation 10 cover that
amount, making total of $500
All of which is respectfully submitted.
