The report of the committee on Chair
table Institutions was presented and up
on motion of Mr.. Vesperman was adopt
ed.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of
Grant County: Gentlemen:
We your committee on charitable institutions,
beg leave to report that we have visited the
gone through each and all of the buildings there
on, making a thorough investigation OF the
buildings well as the farm, livestock, machln-
cry and other property thereon.
We hnd that the trustees have carried out the
recommendations made by the former board IN
regard to the repairs on the county home, that
same practically completed, and that the
work has been done to our entire satisfaction.
The other Improvements made by the trustees
which have been paid for out of the asylum
funds, viz. the erection of porch on the west
side of dwelling, painting of the interior of the
ment in the large barn to COW barn and the
440 feet Of concrete walk, meet with our hearty
approval -.
Robert BROKER for the work the county
home amounting to $2,835.24, and that there
be appropriated the additional sum of $4,000
to complete said work. the sum of $4,000 for
building a Mushroom for the county home IN
place of the old which as it stands is a
great menace to the property, and the sum OF
ST. 100000 for putting cutters and the
painting OF the exterior OF the asylum building.
We have examined the report of the trustees
and find itemized bills and receipts for all moneys
expended by them.
From our investigation we learn that at least
300 tons OF coal is used for the purpose OF
heating the buildings and that there are under
the buildings at the present time seven furnaces
These have to be replaced average of every
five wears at considerable cost to the county
These furnaces also have a tendency to create
considerable dirt in the interior of the buildings
and also make an additional expense tor IN
Surance. We therefore recommend that a
central heating plant be installed; that it be done
under the direction and supervision OF the
trustees of the county asylum and county home,
together with the chairman of the county board
and one other member of this board whom the
chairman shall appoint; which central heating
plant shall be located in such place and in such
manner this committee appointed shall see
fit, for the purpose OF heating all of the buildings;
and that the bills for the shall be pre-
scented to the next county board.
We would also recommend that there be
erected an implement shed and chicken house,
that there be purchased a manure spreader Tor
use on farm and that the cattle on farm be i'm
proved by the purchase of pure bred bull the
to be paid for out of the asylum funds.
We believe that the trustees have been faithful
IN THE discharge of their duties, and that the
superintendent and matron, Mr.. and Mrs. Burrs,
have cared for the institution and its inmates
in very efficient manner and to our entire sat
