To the Honorable County Board of
Supervisors.
Gentlemen:
Herewith, / submit my report as
County Agent for Kenosha County for
the ten months ending November LIST.
Pursuant to resolution passed by
Your Honorable Body, | have installed
new book cases in the office of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court at cost of
Eighty-two Dollars ($S2.00). The new
carpet in the Circuit Court room was
purchased from Bode Bros. Co., at
cost of One Hundred Seventy-six Dol
lars and Eighty-fve cents ($176.S5)
and the cork carpet in the audience
part of the Circuit Court room was
furnished and placed by the S. and j.
Gottlieb Co., at cost of One Hundred
Eleven Dollars and forty-six cents
($111.46).
| have not during this year had oc-
casion to visit Kenosha County s
patients at the Racine County Insane
Asylum, nor was / instructed SO to do,
by the Board. I had one complaint
from Sunny Rest Sanatorium which
was promptly investigated, but found
the trouble to be one which was I'M
avoidable and everything was done in
the power of the Superintendent to
remedy the trouble and in my judg-
ment there is no cause for criticism on
the part of the management of Sunny
Rest.
| also wish to say that pursuant to
resolution passed at the Special Ses-
sion authorizing and empowering me
to purchase the equipment for the
Willowbrook Sanatorium, have spent
a great deal of time in preparing
specifications for said equipment and
believe I have prepared specifications
which are as thorough and complete
as possible under the circumstances. I
have taken bids upon these specifca-
tions, but have not as yet definitely
decided which will be accepted, all of
which will be reported to Your Honor
able Body later in the session. 1t is
my opinion that an appropriation of
Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars ($2500.00)
will be sufficient to cover the cost of
the necessary equipment of Willow
brook and respectfully request that
Your Honorable Body make this ap-
preparation to cover the cost.

but to the statesmen of Iowa it
should be the warning of Iowa's great

precious like jewels and gold, It passes
from the possession of the poor.
The greatest possession Of Iowa is
not her wealth, nor her power of pro-
ducing wealth, though both are stu.
pendous. 1t lies in her people, in her
free institutions, in her growing body
of great traditions. She has produced
many great men and women; but her
greatest wealth is in that fine body Of
great men and women of whom the

they assert that those portions of them
