GRAND JURY FLAYS
POOR FARM MANAGER
THINKS INSTITUTION SHOULD
PAY FOR ITS MAINTENANCE
Figures Total Loss to County Am
cunts to More Than Four Thousand
Dollars and Makes Recommended
lions for Bringing About Change,

The grand jury which today COM
pleted its third session in six months
and was discharged from further duty
in its final report censured Joseph
McDil, manager of the county poor
farm, because he has not put the farm
upon q paying basis and recommends
that steps be taken to secure this
condition. The following is the Sec
ton of its report that refers to the
poor farm:
I'VE have visited the county farm
and find the buildings all in good con-
dition with the exception of the
chicken house and an old shed near
the lower barn. We would recon-
mend the tearing down of the shed
and, if necessary. the construction Of
a new ene. We found 100 acres of
very fertile bottom land, nearly all
in alfalfa, a few hogs and horses. The
horses were in good condition. The
hogs were not. We find on looking
over the report for the year 1910 that
the poor farm has cost the county
over and abovt all receipts $32O0.S4
which with the interest on the in
vestment $1,000, makes a total loss
OF S44OO.S4. For the six months end
ing June 80, 1911, over and above
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-09-13

vestment 100000 makes a total loss
- n

receipts s277S.57 interest on the in
vestment 100000 makes a total loss
of ~s3S7S.57.
There is, however, some hay on
the farm standing as a credit against
the last six months which should be
sold or fed to stock.
Now, with the amount of tillable
land-none better, perhaps, in the
county-it is our opinion that under
proper management this institution
like many others in our country,
could be made a PURGE of revenue
and income to the county and we
would recommend that, if the present
management cannot bring this CO.
dition around, that an able farmer and
stockman be engaged to make mani
fest what in our judgment is very ap-
parent, and we would also suggest
that if we are right in our forecast.
that salary should be the last thing
considered. Engage a man that is
practical, forceful, with past expert
ence-one who will have the interests
of the institution each and every day,
pay him we'll and in two years he
will be turning money into the county
treasury instead of taking it out"
