Your committee appointed to confer with the
poormasters OF Rock Island and Moline would
make the following report:
We met the poormaster of Rock Island on July
25h and visited the larger portion of the poor on
his list and advised him to make changes which
he has done, reducing the amount In the month OF
August from S92 TO s5S, thus saving s39.
On July 18th we met with the poormaster of
Moline and visited portion of the families on
his list snd found that there were families receiv-
ing aid that were not entitled TO it, and advised
the poormaster TO cut of all such persons and
families.
We think that the overseers of the poor have
not given as much time TO Visiting the different
families and investigating their condition and
needs as they ought, bat consider them as pen
sioners on the county NJ 81 or 81 per month, as
they may happen 10 get started.
For instance, We find some parties on the list
who have come down from the overseers before
them at a certain rate per month.
Now your committee think that persons have no
right TO consider themselves entitled to help every
month, but should rely upon themselves, and only
be given help when their efforts fail or in case OF
sickness, and we think the overseers should fire.
