the Superintendent required besides his
family.
IHE CHAIRMAN said that he required
one hand at S25 per month; one woman
at so per month; and two girls at 90
each per week. Would also need a
farm hand in the spring
Mr.. WILSON thought physician who
is specialist should be employed to
care for the insane.
MIR. RoDoLF said that the Asylum
was not an institution for the special
treatment of insane persons, but was an
Asylum for the incurably insane, idiotic
and persons non compos nentis. Not
to cure them, but to give them a home.
Mr.. KICKS said he did not know that
he understood the subject. He had
thought there was no fund TO care Tor
the insane, but it appears that there is
$4,000, which with the $4,000 proposed
to be voted would make 81 900, which
with amount received from the State,
Will be too much. He would have to
vote against the appropriation.
Mr.. MCCALL said that the Committee
had carefully itemized every necessary
expenditure, and had cut down the pro-
posed appropriation to the lowest fig
ures which they thought would meet
the wants of the institutions. He ex-
planned why the old Committee had
been obliged, for want of funds, to let
Mr.. Petty remain until the 18th of
March. After that date the Poor House
and Asylum will be under one manage
ment.
MIR. BARTLEY said he understood WHY
the Committee had recommended the
appropriation. 1t was because $4,000
was locked up in safe keeping. But it
would be forthcoming in the future.
MR.. RoDoLF said the money referred
to did not belong to the insane fund,
but to the general fund. All the COM
mittee could touch was the SC, 900 which
it was proposed to appropriate.
Mr.. WILSON said he understood that
the committee had already allowed
claims to the amount of $4,000, which
virtually used up the $1,000 in the
county treasury.
Mr.. KIDD said he believed that at the
end of the year all balances were
merged into the general fund.
The vote on the question of the adop-
ton of the resolution was taken by
ayes and nays. and was adopted by a
vote OF. 80 ayes to no.
Mr.. MCCALL asked to withdraw the
the report of the committee on roads.
The CHAIRMAN said it could be with
drawn if there was no objection.
Mr.. KIDD wanted to Know why it was
desirable to Withdraw the report.
Mr. WATSON thought that it should
be deisposed of
MIR. MCCALL moved to indefinitely
postpone its consideration. Mr.. Wat
son seconded the motion.
MIR. BARTLEY wanted to know in what
condition it would leave the parties in
terested in the road.
MIR. DAY said he thought the question
should be met squarelY by the Board.
MIR. WILSON thought it simple mat
ter of courtsey to allow the committee
to withdraw the report. Now they
ask to have its consideration indefinite
ly postponed, and it was only showing
them proper courtesy to grant the mo-
ton. The consideration of the question
would not settle anything.
MIR. WILSON said it would have none.
The vote on the motion was taken by
ayes and nays, and was carried Twenty
six ayes, six nays
Mr.. WATSON said he understood that
this left the status of the road the same
that it was before the Committee acted
upon it.
TIE CHAIRMAN said it did.
