The CITY is so taEe steps to abolish
the practice of coming here or bring
ing or sending people here to become
charges on the taxpayers. Repeatedly
the authorities have Teen called on an
past years 20 take care of the sick and
paupc-s of adjacent cities and conn
ties. The law does not allow non-res-
idents TO become charges of either city
or county, but the law is very easily
evaded. in fact when a person is put
on boa; or train, Ill, penniless and
friendless, there is nothing left to do
except through humanity TO take him
or her in.
Mayor Yeiser is now preparing to
present TO the owners Of the steamer
Sunshine a bill for keeping James
Reddin, Of Msysville, KY, who was
left at the wharf here badly disease d
and unable TO so farther He said, as
many others have candidly admitted,
that he came here TO go into the city
hospital.
The expenses OF this sort of business
becomes very great in the course OF n
year, and eats quite q hole into the
taxes. Another problem that often
ccnfronts the authorities is what to do
with patients in the city hospital
when they have remained thirty days,
the limit. Often they have some dis
ease which leaves them just as help
less at the end of month, or often, 1t
has been the case, at the end of six
months, ne at first, and they cannot
be forcibly taken away to die some
where.
II Mayor Yeiser succeeds in getting
damages from the steamboat owners
for leaving Redden here it will estab-
lish prscedent that will serve rs a
warning to public carriers in the fu-
ture.
