given S35 900 last year to run the
county institution, to provide for
those who, through misfortune We're
unable to support themselves and to
look after the outside relief That
is, several hundred poor persons are
given a small sum each month to
help them keep the wolf from the
door, This in a year runs up to a
large amount. but it costs the coun-
tv less than if these persons were
clothed and boarded at the aims
house. The past year extraordinary
expenses have taken some $4,000
more than the appropriation. The
emergency hospital had to he erect
ed at Il cost of over $1,000 and which
has proved to he money well spent.
Without such an institution, the
county would have been put to
three times this amount to provide
suitable place for the small pOX
patients. The offer was made to
the Trustees Of the Delaware Hos
pital for the insane to place all per
sons stricken with the disease, which
was gladly accepted. Two canvass
tents have been erected by the Hos
pitul for the Insane management at
the rear OF their buildings. where
suspects are placed until sufficient
time has passed to find out whether
the patieut is stricken OF not with
smallpox. Out Of Is eases OF small
