TRUSTEES OF the Poor Murphy,
Toman and Fahey appeared before
the Levy Court yesterday afternoon
and asked for an appropriation of
$500. which the Board desires to
use in changing the third floor of
the Almshouse at Farnhurst into Il
hospital ward, where fevers and
chronic diseases may be treated.
An electric elevator will be put in
and new heating and ventllating
apparatus. While this appropria-
tion should be granted if possible,
due care ought to be exercised to
keep the expenditures within the
amount raised for that purpose
