Statutes in such case made and provided

We further recommend the adoption of

atory thereto, pay to such relatives,
friends or other persons for the care and

coed one dollars ($1.0O per week, except.
ing, however, in cases of epileptics and

sion, to be filed in the County Clerks

der their charge and the County Treas
urer is authorized to pay the same out

ment of all such warrants.

supported by any town, city or village
in said county as provided for by Sec
ton 1872 Revised Statutes, the poor
Agents shall ascertain the legal resi-
dence of said poor persons and shall i'm
mediately notify the County Clerk of the
