To The Honorable, the Board Of County Com
missio,teTs, Of LeaCeatrOIfh Cunt huEsas:
/ would big leave TO make the following re-
port a. Superintendent OF the Poor asy lum,
and Poor farm of your county:
Ny term of service commenced on the first
day of December, a. d., 1877, at which time
found the place in reasonable good condition,
with the exception OF the rooms occupied by
the inmates all OF which rooms L found
needing repairs to the pidstering and needing
hitewashing veIy btiIy.ab rive out OF the
six rooms, found 10 b. infested with verInin.
Two of the rooms have had C eaned up and
whitewashed-the ottsers will leave for your
inspection. / also found that there mad been
| "A mistake In regard TO The amount of corn
| leil on the farm by my predecessor, and re-
quast.d your cO!nmlitee To have the corn
| measured. whereu pou they sent a written re-
quest TO MIR. Grafton Carney and MIR. Thorn Is
Trower asking them 10 make AN estimate of
| OF the corn in the shock, aud report to your
committee. Mr.. Trowerj refus. q 10 act, but
| Mr.. Carney and Mr.. Cowiing met at the farm
and went into the field, and selected several
| of the average shocks and had them husk ed
and measured the corn and found that in
stead of there being Ia hundred and forty
nve shocks, max ny four hundred and ninty
bushels, there were two hundred and forty
| six shocks, making one hundred and seven
| ty-threc bushels and "A quarter.
| i then took some OF the men belonging to
| the house, and measur, q the old corn in the
| crib, and found that instead of there being
| four hundred bushels, AS guessed AT, by your
committee, there was two hupdrcd and sixty
eight bushels. The corn in the crib is first
| rate white corn of the crop of ls16, and that
| in the shocks is very poor nubbins of the
crop of 1871. 1t l. an easy matter for such
| mistakes 10 occur, when corn in bulk is
guessed at, and then afterwards put TO the
measure.
submit the following a correct list of
| the names, age &C., of the inmates of the
holSr, 81 far as | can learn ffom the records
found on taking possession OF the place.
