THE COUNTY POOR HOUSE.
A Committee Visits It and Finds the
Building Very Dilapitated.


The necessity for increased room for
the accommodation of the city 9nd
county poor has grown to be pressing
appeal. A brief resume of the history
eleemosynary and charitable institu-
tons appeared in yesterdays TELE-
eRAM-HERALD, as well as of the growth
and changing conditions of phiIan-
thropical endeavor. AS if acting upon
the lesson therein contained Supervisor,
Shattuck yesterday called up the ques-
ton of building q new city and county
house before the Board of Supervisors
and made it, by unanimous consent, a
special order Of business for Thursday.
1t is asserted by the advocates of the
building project that the present insti-
tuition Is menacing burlesque on both
charity and decency. At present the
maximum capacity is so crowded that
not more than eight additional persons
could be housed. The buildings are
old, poorly ventilated, lndifferently
lighted and absolutely without proper
system of sewage and drainage. The
interior has grown old, musty and for
bidding, although those IN charge exact
scrupulous neatness and cleanliness,
not only from inmates, but from the at
tendants. Still the sanitary condition
is not what it should be where one hun
dred or more persons are compelled to
eat and sleep, notwithstanding they are
but recipients of public charity.
Last Sunday, Aldermen Carpenter,
O'Donnell, Tateum, superintendent
Mech and Rich, City Physician Wright,
County Physician Penwarden. Store
keeper keene and Superintendent Frost
visited the county house. and made a
tour of inspection. The visit confirmed
| the opinions of the gentlemen named
| that new building should take the
place of the old one. and that at the
earliest day possible.
Alderman Carpenter, in speaking Of
| the matter evInces warm interest.
