his report on the poor farm for Febru-
airy as follows:
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners, Marion Co., Fla:
/, the commissioner appointed to
look after and care for the poor farm
| for the commissioner term 1912,
have just returned from visiting the
same, and find the inmates in fair con-
dition. They tell me they have plenty
to eat and comfortable sleeping ac-
commodations. However, geneltmen,
as aforesaid, we have too many cattle,
the feed costing too much, and hear
| tily recommend that expenses be re-
duced, providing we can do SO without
eliminating any concessions or means
of comfort and pleasure to the unfor-
tunate ones therein placed, and will
talk this matter over during this ses-
sion. / find that the expense of said
| institution has been STALLS for the
month of February, which l think is
more than is really necessary to main
tain said institution.
