APPLICATION OF THE TOWN OF
MAIDEN ROCK FOR AID FOR L.
JERNBERG, AN INDECENT PER-
SON.
To the Honorable the County Board of
Pierce County:
The undersigned, A. G. Wesley, SUI
pervisor of the Town of Maiden Rock,
in behalf of said town, respectfully
shows:
That there is an INDECENT person in
said town named l.. Jernberg; that he
is now a public charge and that the
county pays the sum of one dollar per
week for aiding in his support.
That he resides with a daughter,
single woman of about the age of fifty
six years. That the said Jernberg is
of about the. age of eighty years, and
by reason of advanced age and SICK
ness is unable to aid in his own sup
port to any appreciate amount.
That his daughter has small tract
of land being about 40 acres, and has
hitherto with the aid of the county
appropriation succeeded in supporting
herself and father as he was able to do
something himself, and she could work
out when there was chance to do so.
That owing to his enfeebled condition,
she is now obliged to remain at home
most of the time to care for him.
That owing to his age and the fact
that his daughter desires to have him
with her and that he is unwilling to
leave her and actually needs her care
and attention, that the supervisors of
the town do not deem it wise to take
him to the poor house.
We think that with an additional ap-
preparation of one dollar, making
total of two dollars per week, that he
can be cared for without further coun-
oi1 rnC Of 1111
request the County Board to appropri-
ate the sum of two dollars per week,
subject to the Supervisions of the poor
agents of the county, for his support.

Resolution fixing the amount of
County Treasurer's bond, which was
presented yesterday and deferred un-
til this morning, was on motion of
Sup. Lord accepted and adopted.
RESOLUTION FIXING AMOUNT OF
BOND OF COUNTY TREASURER.
Whereas, the County of Pierce has
deSi gnated a County Depository for the
Public Funds of such county and pre-
scribed the amount of bonds to be CIV
len by such depositary and a bond of
the amount so determined has been
given and approved by the County
Board;
And whereas, under the provision of
of 1898, as amended by Chapter 552,
1909, the County Board may modify
the amount of the. County Treasurer's
that the same is not reduced below the
amount of twenty per cent of the total
amount of the taxes levied by the
that it seems that the amount of bonds
heretofore required to be is excessive
in amount since the adoption of the
County Depository System.
Resolved that the amount of the
bond to be given by the County Treas
urer for the ensuing term shall be fifty
thousand dollars.
The following resolution was on
motion of Sup. White laid on the Ia
BILE:
Resolved that the County Clerk is
hereby authorized to have copies of the
records of this session of the County
Board made for the use of the printers
of said proceedings, in order that the
flee of the County Clerk for the time
necessary to have such printing done.
