We the undersigned commissioners of the

That since the November session, 1887, of
your honorable board, we have granted relief
to twenty.seven t27) soldiers, soldiers widows
and soldiers orphans under the provisions OF
section 304 of tho laws of 1897 of the state of
Wisconsin. That the aid so granted amounts
in the aggregate TO the sum of four hundred
eighty-fOur dollars (S484l. That the expenses
for stationery, stamps. printing, etc, have
been paid by the county clerk, and are EN- bod
That the total amount Of expenses of such
commissioners, which are allowed by law, are
w. &. hetfert, President OF Commission, S2y.Ze;
Calvert Spensley. nothing; X. Carter, nothing.
That the commission has been, and had to be,
very careful Ia its allowances owing to the
small amount of funds in its hands: many of
the applicants having been allowed aid for but
one or two months. The applications are in
CreasHg. Many, in fact nearly all, are very
poor, in bad health, and sadly need aid-even
more than we can possibly give. We therefore
respectfully recommend that this board levy
all the law warrants for the relief OF the indi-
suspended before the new levy will be avail
able.
For obvious reasons we do not append list of
bcneficiaries. Their names, etc, are recorded
in the record Of the Commission, and are on

To THE HONORABLE COUNTY BOARD or Iowa
The undersigned committee on public prop
crty respectfully report:
That pursuant to the directions of your hon
Orable board we caused movable iron window
to be placed at one window of the female ward
of the county jail.
We have removed the water closet to the
west end of the court house, added to 1t, en-
closed and painted 1t.
We have had new caYes-troughS put on the

We have, by and with tho consent of the

northeast and northwest corners of courtyard,

grounds. ! he only manner OF entrance here
tOfOTe was through the court house.
We have not repaired the steps in front of
the court house, or the porch. We found upon
examination they needed so much repairs, and
upon inquiry as to the cost we found it would
cost so much near S50O-we, by the advice of
the chairman, concluded not to repair, but re-
fer the matter to the board in session.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
