TON THINKS MOVE WOULD
BE WISE ONE-UP TO COMMITS.
SlONERS,

Many who were affiliated with the
Wayne County Humane society during
its existence are in favor of giving the
funds of the society which amounts to
about $500 to the county commission
ers for the purpose of assisting in the
construction of the insane ward of the
county Jail. One of the former Off
Gals of the society stated this noon
that as the funds of the society were
doing no good. many were in favor Of
giving it to the county with the pro-
viso that it be used exclusively for the
purpose stated.
1t is very probable that the county
officials would accept the money
There are several funds which are held
in trust for certain purposes which
former county ofiicials have accepted.
As the county is DESTROYS of econo-
mixing as much as possible on the Jail
owing to the county finances. the gift
would prove to be a munificent one.
The money possessed by the Humane
society is on deposit In a local bank
ing institution.
