To the Honorable B0, rd Of Cbrnty Commission
efsof Ledren,uorth County:
GENrLEMEN-I wish TO call your attention
county poor house WAS exhausted about the
first day of April, ISIS. and that have been
using the dead and down wood To be found
in the timber on the farm. This way Of get
ting the wood for summer use will answer
very we'll, but IL is coming the time OF year
that IL will be necessary 10 make arrange
ments for q supply for winter use. therefore
have the following suggestion TO make to
your honorable body: There Is growing on
the land belonging To the county an abund-
ance OF wood for the use of the county poor
house for a number of years, and l find that
by paying cash for the labor l can have ii
cut into cord wood at a price not TO exceed
(sI.25l one dollar and twenty-five cents per
cord, and can haul the wood with the coun-
ty team, thereby saving the expense OF the
hauling. The land on which the timber is
standing Is only useful As pasture land, and
will be OF more value as such when the tim
ber Is removed than with the timber standing
on IL.
Now, n you see At, in your wisdom, to
make some arrangement by which the money
can be had to hire the wood cut, I will agree
TO see that II IL hauled in So that We can have
IL ready by cold weather.
All OF which Is respectfully submitted for
your consideration. u. W. h. MOORE,
Superintendent.
