Mr.. Showalter presented report OF
committee on charitable institutions as
follows:
To The Honorable Board of Supervisors
Grant County.
Your committee on charitable institutions
having visited the Poor House and Asylum beg
leave TO offer the following report:
We found the superintendent Mr. McFall and
wife IL home attending to their numerous duties
aud everything in clearly and satisfactory
condition in and about the premises.
The recommendations which were made by
your committee last year have been carried out
by the trustees. except the dry air closets which
they speak Of in their report. and which after a
conference with the State Board OF Charities
and Reform, they have concluded to build on the
outside OF the main building but connected so a.
u enter them by door from the inside of the
same. This we think is good idea and are in.
elined to favor it and hope TO see it carried out
in the near future. However il upon future
investigation the trustees find Bny serious OBJ
lection TO this plan and wish to use the two
small rooms inside the main building which are
Wen located for the work. or adopt the sewerage
system, we are willing, as they have had time
Investigate the different methods, and should
be the judges in the matter. The appropriation
OF five hundred dollars (S5OO) made for this work
and not yet used we recommend be set apart
and the trustees empowered TO use the same
Wild as much more OF the asylum fund as is
actually necessary to make the above improve
ment
The superintendent asks for some permanent
wash tubs TO be built in the laundry. and metal
| tank in the kitchen in place Of the one there
now. which is wood and leaky, and we recon-.
mend that they be put in.
/ We find some ofthe plastering off in the asy-
/ lum and more that is about to fail We recommend
/ that il be repaired
The beef as well as the pork is now being
/ butchered on the farm and we find great need
Of a slaughter house. We therefore recommend
/ that one be built sixteen feet square, twelve
| feet high, wood, estimated cost 81 500,
We also ask for the building OF a bath room on
the east end Of the Poor House, as the population
1 Is growing and owing TO the crowded condition
there is no room in the house to set apart for that
| purpose. Estimated cost about $4,000
! We recommend that the above improvements
| and repairs be paid for out of the asylum fund
] Respectfully submitted and signed by your
| committee.
