L. That the county house and farm be
retained and m intained by the county at
large, and that all paupers, and insane per-
sons now inmates of the county poor house.

dence in the county, and all insane or who
may become insane having a residence in
the county, shall be maintained by the coun-
ty.
2. That the towns villages and wards of
the county shall take charge of and sup
port its resident poor Provided that any
town, village or ward in the county may
send any pauper to the county house there
to be kept at the same costs as the county
poor, said costs to be charged back to the

pers-
3. That the county raise S-to be
apportioned by the County Clerk to the sew
eral towns, villages and wards, according to
their equalized valuation of property, for
the support of their poor for the ensuing

We recommend the above change from
the fact that other counties have adopted it,
and when adopted has proved success, and
the present system, very expensive and
unsatisfactory one, costing in 1876 in the
1st and Sd districts for services, % per cent.
of the disbursements. All of which is re-
spectfully submitted.
