GENTLEMEN: Your special conn ittee to
whom was referred the examination of the ac-
counts OF the officers known as the Trustees of
tondent of the Poor, do respectfully report
that we have given both accounts II thorough
examination In detail, receipts and eXpendi-
lures aud find the same to be correct in every
particular.
Groceries and all necessary supplies of dry
goods clothing. hats and caps, boots and
shoes, are bought ut wholesale and all bills
discounted,
1t can be stated with truth that the income
or the Asylum, being money paid into the
treasury OF Iowa County by the state and
hal nj au nj
sale OF products OF the farm, is now year by
yenr sufficient to pay the running expenses of
The asylum, for the support OF all the poor nj
the poor farm, and all the temporary aid |
granted to the poor of the county in the var
ious towns and cities-granted for subsistence
for clothing and for medical attention. More |
han HAT i will leave balance of profit be-
yond the dong OF what we have stated.
As Will be seen by the report OF the Asylum |
Trustees there has been paid out in salaries
this year year, $36i3,17. The Superintendent
Si00 per year. The attending
$250 per year. for services and med
lcnes; each male attendant So per month and |
each female attendant and employee SIS per
month, the trustees per diem and mileage,
with farm OF five hundred acres OF land
with buildings and appurtenant, such rs the
county nre now pS has, but rh comparativey little
must be- about completed. In the years be-
fore US the county can only be called upon to
make from year 10 year necessary, but mex
power, an electric lightsystem can be added |
II small expense. That may be advisable |
but surely nothing more In the line of inn |
provemonts can be desired when such is pro-
vded.
In conclusion the committee is distinctly of |
5he opinion that the people of Iowa County |
nave just reason to congratulate themselves
m the fact that It's poor and insane are SO |
.Xcellently well cared for, as they most as |
,uredly are at present.
