REVIVED FIGHT FOR
A POOR HOUSE.
Special Committee from Council to
Confer with the County.

Special Committee from Council to
Confer With the County.
Upon a resolution by Alderman Da-
want last night, Mayor Myers appoint
ed a special committee of Council to
confer with the County Commission
ers in regard to establishing poor
house on the County Farm.
The resolution was unanimously car
ried and by its terms the Mayor was
made one of the members of the COM
mittee.' The committee as appointed
consists of Mayor Myers, Alderman
Davant and Alderman Thomas.
There was a committee appointed
from Council last year to confer with
the commissioners on this subject, but
nothing was accomplished. Mayor Ny
ers in his annual message a year ago
recommended that a poor house be
established and suggested that the CO.
operation of the county be secured.
There was a great deal of talk for
a time about the matter, but interest
in the subject died out before any
thing was accomplished. That such
an institution is needed is generally
recognized. 1t is believed that the
matter will be pushed rapidly now
until the poor house is secured.
