The committee on "Poor Farm"
submit the following report:
To the County Board of Wood
County. Gentlemen:-
Your COM
mittee appointed at your last meeting
to report on the ACCESSIBILITY of adopt
ing the county system of Poor relief,
would respectfully submit to you the
following report: The experience of
other counties shows that the county
system of relief is the less expensive
in counties where the number of per-
sons receiving relief is 40 or upwards.
That is usually the number of such
persons in counties Of this state con-
tanning 10000 inhabitants. We have
now in our county about Is persons
receiving relief. About one-half of
these have been chargable to the
county at an expense of about $4,000.
The expense to the towns for such
relief is probably more than that paid
by the county. The adoption of the
county system will reduce the number
of paupers to about one half, and will
reduce the cost of relief in case of
accidents to less than one half and
such insane as can be kept ON the
poor farm will cost less than if kept
at the insane asylum. 1t has been
found by other counties that they can
support the poor on the poor farm at
an expense varying from s1.25 to
s175 per week. A poor farm should
contain about $50 acres of land and
will cost somewhere between two and
three thousand dollars. The buildings
necessary will cost nearly the same
amount. The whole cost of the prem
Uses ready for occupancy should not
amount to $4,000. The soil of the
farm should be adapted to the raising
of hoe crop of garden products and
grass and should be literally stocked
with COWS. It should be so located
that it would be easy of access, that its
management would gain publicity and
be convenient for the visiting physi-
cian

Moved that the report OF the CON-
mite on s'Poor Farm" be laid over
until Nov. 18th. Carried.
The question of the payment of
the Court House claims was brought
before the board and a motion made
that the sum of $4,000 be levied
upon the taxable property Of Wood
county for the payment of the claims
on file. The motion was amended
and the subject of the Court House
claims laid over until Nov. 18th.
Motion as amended carried.
