visors, Wednesday, Jan. 10, 1910,
being the 10th day of the January
session, the board met pursuant to adj
journment, members all present, Presi-
dent John w. Reinhard in the chair
The minutes Of the last meeting read
and approved. The majority of the
board Of supervisors after thorough
and careful investigation as to the
qualifications and fitness Of each of the
applicants for the position Of Over
seer of the poor for Ottumwa City,
find that John Criswell possesses the
better qualifications and is the most
competent and able person to fill said
position and to perform the duties
thereof, of any of the applicants.
Said John Criswell is therefore ap-
ppointed to fill said position for the
period of one year from March l, 1910,
unless sooner removed by the board.
The appointment was made by the
/ following vote of the members of the
board for John Criswell, Reinhard and
Jordan, for Henry Wagers, Fairchild.
Whereas certain contracts and ar
rangements have heretofore existed as
to the payment of charges for caring
for certain insane patients, residents
of this county cared for at the hospital
at Mt Pleasant, and at the hospital at
the county home, which contracts and
arrangements appear to the board to
be unjust and unnecessary at this
time. 1t Is therefore resolved by The
board of supervisors of Wapello coun-
ty, Iowa, that all arrangements here
tofore made with those chargeable
with the expense of caring for such in
. sane patients, be now discontinued
from January l. 1910, and that here
, after the entire expense Of caring for
such insane patients be charged to the
estate Of such patients, or to those leg
ally liable with such expense as pro-
vided by law, unless such showing IS
made to this board as satisfies the
board that such estates or persons
should be relieved therefrom. in whole
or in part as provided for by the code
of Iowa Dated this 10Th day of jan
, uary, 1910.
