REPORT OF COMMITTEE TO SETTLE
WITH POOR AGENTS.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of
Pierce County:
We, the committee appointed to settle
with the Poor Agents, respectfully report
the following:
We have examined the books and vouch-
ers of said Poor Agents submitted us by
them and find the same to be correct.
We recommend that the superintendent,
with the aid of the Poor Agents, make
an inventory of all of the stock, with
the age and value of each head Sepa-
rately Except that sheep, young hogs
and poultry may be taken together), and
Of the grain, with number of bushels of
each kind, and value of the same; also
the amount of hay and straw, with value
of same, and each and every kind of
farm implements, with name and value
OF each; also that the superintendent
keep a tabulated statement of all meals
provided for the inmates, family and Wis
tors, each under their respective head
ings, with name and date of each, ac-
corG1ng to the form attached, and that
he present such tabulated and itemized
statement to the Poor Agents quarterly:
and that suitable books be purchased by
the Purchasing Agent with the advise of
the Poor Agents. And that the Poor
Agents see that such inventory, tabula-
ton and itemized accounts be kept in
said book of said superintendent. And
sistance in keeping said book and ac-
counts, that the Poor Agents give what
assistance is necessary.
We find in the minutes of the Poor
Agents, with relation to the commitment
of Adelbert to the poor house, in accord
ance with the resolution passed by the
County Board at it's last annual meeting,
the following:
''After consultation with the superin-
ntendent of the poor farm, the Poor
Agents unanimously decided that it was
inexpedient and improper, and with pres
emit room and facilities at the poor house,
an impossibility to care for said Adelbert
at the poor house, there being no sepa-
rate room or place wherein he could be
confined to check or mitigate his well
known inclinations to indecent exposure
of person"
We find their proceedings were silent
as to the resolution that the superintend-
ent of the poor farm and Poor Agents
each keep an itemized account of their
respective work.
We find that the accounts of the Poor
Agents are kept in good form and easily
