This support OF indigents IN this
cougty costs more than II should for the
following reasons:
The oramppd quarters ut the Poor
House nvcessitntes tho care OF many
PATIENTS by city hospitals, who SHOULD

there were proper accommodations Tor
them there.
Much Outside aid II given by the
County Court At present, which would
ho cut oil II the Room u, tho Poor
House were sufficient 20 meet the de-
mauds Of our populations.
The Territory makes no provision f0r

Separate wards ought ~ Inc provided

To build upon the present poor farm,
consisting oi only ten acres, buildings
suitable to meet the necessities Of the
present and future would In tue opinion
of tho county court be very unwise,
and entail great loss upon the county
