INSTRUCTIONS TO TOWNSHIP
TRUSTEES.
Whereas, the support of the poor
has become great expense to the tax
payers of Audubon county by iniu-
diciously furnishing supplies in many
instances of a kind that Taxpayers
cannot furnish their own families,
therefore, be it resolved, that the
board of supervisors will hereafter al
low payment only for plain substan-
tial supplies. They win positively re-
fuse to allow payment for plush, rib
bons, lace, silks, peaches, lemons, to-
bacco, high grade -four or any other
articles of luxury except in cases of
sickness, and then only on an order
of the county physician. Supplies
shall only be furnished upon requisi-
tion of the township trustees, who
shall also certify that the person so
supplied is resident of the county,
which means they have lived one year
in the county. The attention of the
township trustees is hereby directed to
their duty (see section 2226 to 2227
of the code) to warn all persons that
may become public charge to depart
from the county before they have
gained a residence. Any person filing
claims for other than the goods speci-
fed by the township trustees, or sell
ing certain goods and charging others
to the same account, or selling the
specified goods and trading others for
them, will cause the whole bill to be
rejected. The auditor is hereby di-
rected to procure suitable blank requi-
sitions on which shall be printed the
foregoing resolutions to distribute
them to the trustees throughout the
county.
