almshouse and hospital. 1t is the de-
sire of the Board to sell the present
poor farm and use the proceeds for
the purchase of site and the erection
of hospital in this city. The grounds
for the action is that there is great
Inconvenience and a greater expense
connected with the care of the poor on
the present farm than if there was a
good hospital and regular physician
here in the city, and the action will
undoubtedly be approved by all fair
minded citizens. Mr.. Philbrick- also
