A COUNTY POOR FARM
The Great Need of a Place for
the Poor and Sick of
Whatcom County
What is To Be Done With
Those Who are Unable to
Care for Themselves
1t is About Time Some Action
Was Taken to Provide for
the Helpless

The necessity Of a.c0uaty poor farm
Is every day becoming more and more
apparent and IL is high time that
steps should be taken to secure Tho
establishment Of such an Institution
In The county. The board Of c0unty
commissioners seems to be powerless
TO act In the matter, no provisions
having been made by law, whereby the
county commissioners are empowered
TO take steps for purchasing and ope-
rating poor farm. There should be
no time lost; IL IL blot on the ciyili-
zatlon OF WhatcOm county that there
Is no place where the INDECENT poor
can find even temporary relief. The
Sisters hospital, OF this city, IL is true,
cares for many, and the bills are paid
by the county, but this is not at all
adequate. There are chronic PATIENTS
whom the county must take care OF
and IL Is submitted that Sisters hos
pltal Is not the place for the lodging
OF such patients. 1t Is not the object
or the Institution 10 care for patients
whose diseases are chronic or who
may be unable 10 support themselves.
poor farm Is the proper place.
only yesterday an aged woman, suf-
turing from some incurable disease,
was found In semi-demented condi-
ton on the streets OF this city. She
had formerly Teen patient at the hos
pltal, but had been discharged. After
her discharge a kindly physician Of
this city had given his services
giatultOusly and the county commits
siOners had ordered medicines for her
Still she was practically uncared for.
She Is helpless and pauper, and yes
terday when found on the streets she
was conveyed to the Sisters hospital,
and City Marshal Parker had 10 guar
ahtee the payment Of bills before she
was admitted. This Is no reflection
on the management Of the hospital.
IL Is not an eelemOsynary Institution,
per Sc, and must derive revenue from
patients for It's support.
IL is an admirable Institution, and
only those who know the inner history
of one OF those haveDs have any idea
OF the open hearted charity OF which !
the world knows nothing, which Is !
daily extended by the Institutions |
known as Sisters hospitals. The !
paid by the board Of county |
commissioners for the support Of lndi. !
gent poor In this district during |
the past eight months has only !
been 5000. A trflng amount, |
Indeed, and the wonder Is, have |
these who actually needed help re-
ceived itY Perhaps they have, and IL |
may be that some undeserying persons
have benefited by the cOunty's char
ity. Nevertheless IL is duty deyoly-
Ing upon the county 10 support its
poor, and 10 do il in humane manner.
Scripture IL not quoted in this brief
article 10 establish the correctness Of
the premises, but IL will be evident 10
every humanitarian that one OF the 1
ilrst needs OF this county is a poor
farm where the aged, INDECENT and /
helpless may at least receive meas
IRE Of care and treatment, when they
need II, without being driven from
pillar TO post, IN order 10 find place
