On motion the above report was re-
ferred to a special committee appoint

To the honorable, the county board
of supervisors of Wood county, Wis
consin: l have the honor to report
that pursuant to resolution hereto
fore adopted by your honorab1 body
the superintendent of the poor for
Wood county were directed to take
such steps as they should deem eXped-
lent and proper to procure the trans
portation of Lena Roser from the
Marathon County asylum for the in
sane, where she is now confined, to
her relatives and home in Switzerland
and to obtain such assistance as would
be proportionate with the states liza
bility for her support, she being a
charge to Wood county and one-ha1f
of her support being borne by the
state.
We, entered into correspondence
with the State Board of Control, and
were assured in reply to our state
ment of the facts so made that in the
opinion of the State Board of Control.
the state of Wisconsin had to bear and
pay one-half of such expense and that
it would be the proper thing to do, to
send her to her relatives. But we
were informed by M. w. P. Lyon, the
president Of said Board of Control
that they had no funds under their
control that could be used for that
purpose; we then committed the
matter and our correspondence per-
tanning thereto to our member Of
bly,, the honorable Frank A.
Cady, and he secured the enactment
of a law, providing amply as we think
for the emergency.
Hereto annexed is a copy of the bill
introduced for that purpose and a
letter from Mr.. Cady saying that the
bill has become and is now law: the
careful reading of it explains the
whole situation and we now await
your further order. All of which is
respectfully submitted.
