man that too much money was being
expended in Moline in settling poor
claims and that there were many peo-
pie receiving aims who were not en-
titled to them
The committee reported that out Of
35 families who were on the poor list
in Moline 1t was found that eight were
undeserving of the aid of the county,
as they had other means of support.
OF the remainder several were found
to be old people who have children
able but unwilling to support them,
and the committee recommended that
legal advice be secured to see If there
is not some way of compelling these
unnatural children to take care OF
their parents.
To Require Doctors Certificates.
The committee also recommended
that, to keep undesirables out Of the
county infirmary, it be required of each
applicant for admission that he have a
certificate from a physician stating the
reason for his disability to provide for
himself. The members of the commit
tee were of the opinion that with a cold
winter coming on many men who have
rendered themselves unfit to take care
of themselves because of their exces-
sive use of strong drink will apply for
admission TO the infirmary, and that
this class of men should be kept out.
Minority Report Tabled.
The board heard the report of the
committee, which was signed by four
Of the members. and decided TO adopt
the report and its recommendations
Supervisor S. r. Wright brought in n
minority report, in which a complete
revision of the poor list in Moline and
steps taken to make comparison be-
tween the amount of money expended
in this way in Moline and Rock Island
was recommended. The minority re-
port was laid on the table by vote Of
a majority of the supervisors.

and he has pronounced it practical and
given a promise of an order of 10000
fans when the manufacture has been
commenced.
