The following resolution introduced
by Supervisor Murphy was on motion
accepted and adopted
RESOLUTION.
Whereas County aid is being given for
the relief of a family in the Town of Ellis
worth consisting of a widow and three in
FAINT children, the eldest of whom is not
more than twelve, years of age, such aid
being the sum of one dollar per week,
and it appears that owing to the ILL
health Of the mother, such sum is entirely
insufficient for their support and owing
to the age Of the children 1t is advisable
for obvious reasons to commit the family
or either of them to the poor house;
Resolved that County Poor Agents are
hereby authorized to pay for the supper,
and care of such family such sum as in
their discretion may seem proper not ex-
week, such contribution to be made so
long as it shall seem in their judgment
advisable and that If they deem best such
sum or such part of 1t as is deemed
necessary may be expended under the di-
rection of the Chairman of the Town
Board of the Town of Ellsworth.

To the Honorable, the Board of Sru f.
visors of Pierce County:
The Building Committee appointed by
your Chairman respectfully report that
they have examined the buildings and an
purtenances belonging to the County, and
find as follows:
ton excepting the Court House and es-
pecially the Court Room, which needs
some slight repairs.
Among which is one requested by Judge
Helms, viz. The covering Of the raised
platform with mating, this can be
economically done by providing new mat
ting inside of the railing and using the
old mating on the platform. We recon-
mend that the sidewalk in front of the
County lots be replaced by a cement
walk with stone curling on the outside,
said walk to be not less than seven and
one half feet wide.
We find the buildings on the poor farm
in and out, to be In good condition We
find upon investigation that there is not
sufficient barn room for the stock now on
the farm, and are informed by the poor
agents that 1t void be more profitable to
increase the stock. Therefore, we recon-
mend that a barn suitable to accomnoo-
date the stock which can be profitably
kept on farm Of that size be built the
coming year.. We further recommend
that special committee of two be ap-
pointed to act with the poor agents at
their next quarterly meeting in regard to
the location, size and character Of such
barn. also that at the same time to con-
fer with the purchasing agent in regard
to the proposed cement walk; said cnrn4
m'ttee shall be allowed a compensation
or three dollars per day. for not exceed
ing three days, and mileage
In considering the condition of the
Court House, we find that extensive re-
pairs should be made Immediately. or a
new Court House built in a very few
years, but that such repairs are not adj
