BRIGHT IDEA.
Humane, Economical, Convenient and
Progressive

Monroe County has a poor
farm Of 160 acres. Ramshackle,
inconvenient and exceedingly
uncomfortable buildings that
are expensive to heat and care
for.
AS things are it costs-not in
Guiding farm 81 IS each per
week for the thirty paupers.
Judge James T. Umstattd has
investigated conditions in Shell
by and Macon counties and con-
cludes that the best thing from
any and every point of view for
the county to do, would be to
sell the farm fort will fetch
81, 900 to 5000 what it will
bring and build an lntirmary as
other counties have done and
are doing and take care of our
own insane as well as paupers.
Judge Umstattd showed US a
lette; from G. L Eunis, County
Clerk of Shelby county, which,
in substance is: Our iutirmary
cos. US $4,000 and the first year
the most expensive one, be-
cause bedding, etc. had to be
purchased-we saved 70, 800 and
that does not include transpor-
tation which would have been
necessary to and from asylums,
if we had not have had an In
firmary.
An answer from the Clerk at
Macon was in substance the
same.
Then why not, if you wish to
be humane, to be economical, to
be progressive and to have
everything right at hand as it
should be. build an Intirmary in
Monroe County and keep thous-
ands of dollars per aunum at
home that are now necessarily
sent away from home.
Do you know that IN cold
weather it IS well nigh lmpossi-
BILE for the keeper of the poor
farm to keep its inmates COM
! Portable in the day time and to
keep them from freezing to
death at night,
Think this matter over care
fully, take it to heart and if you
care nothing for the poor nor
! the insane. then take the cold
pulseless s s into consideration
and treat it wholely and soul
lessly from a commercial stand
point and give Judge James T.
Umstattd your hearty supper t
| in the effort to better conditions
both for the helpless and the
TAN PAYER.
