RESOLUTION IN REGARD TO POOR
PERSON IN TOWN OF MAIDEN
ROCK.
To the Honorable County Board of Super
visors of the County of Pierce:
In behalf of the Town of Maiden Rock
desire to make the following statement:
,IernberQ. a person
legal settlement in such town is a man
of about the age of eighty-five years.
reason of physical disability he has for
some five or six years been county
charge to the extent ordinarily allowed
by the custom of the County Board to-
wit: he has been receiving from the
county the sum of one dollar per week.
Being rather active for his age, he has
with the help of daughter managed to
care for himself without calling upon the
town for additional aid until about the
last of April, when ne met with an az
cident by which he was very badly
burned, so much so that that he has been
confined to his bed ever since and re-
quired close attention, both by physi-
clan and his daughter, the latter per-
forming the duties of nurse. AS ms
injuries are such that he is entirely
helpless, his daughter is obliged to re-
main at home and care for him and
hence cannot aid in his support by labor
ing for others.
In the care of Mr.. Jernberg the Town
of Maiden Rock has incurred heavy ex-
pense bills amounting to at least one
hundred and fifty dollars.
The town is already burdened with the
support of two INDECENT persons who re-
ceive a dollar a week from the county,
but as this is insufficient for their sup
port the town is called upon to supple
ment the amount from time to time.
The Town Board of the town therefore
respectfully submits that the Town OF
Maiden Rock is unduly burdened and
that it is right and proper to ask the
County Board to eXpend further aid to
said town in the present emergency.
l desire to state further, that it is inn
possible to take Mr.. Jernberg to the
poor house as the extent of his injuries
is so great that he cannot be moved,
even the slight movement required to
change his bed clothing being attended
by great pain to him. Hence it is inn
perative that he be cared for where he
Even if it were possible to take him to
the poor house a special nurse would be
required to care for him and the medical
attendance would be certainly as expen-
sive, if not more so than he is now re-
ceivinc
We therefore request that the County
Board appropriate the sum of one hum
of Maiden Rock in caring for said person.
