RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, on the 5th day Of Au-
gust, 1881, the Board of County
Commissioners of Sheridan County.
Montana met pursuant to Section Nv
of Chapter 14s of the Laws of the
Twenty ,finst Legislative Assembly
to consider estimates of expenditures
and to fix the final budget for the
current fiscal year and at such
meeting fixed the total ~appropria-
ten fer Outside Poor tContraet
PricelL at the sum of Forty-fiye
Hundred (s4,500) Dollars; and.
WHEREAS, in considering and
fixing said budget, the Board antr-
pated that Forty-five hundred ls45-
O0l Dollars would be sufficient for
said budget, as the total expenditures
from said fund during the fiscal
year of 1880 did not exceed Four
Thousand (s4,000l Dollars, and At
the time said budget was fixed and
said appropriation made, the said
Board did not anticipate, and had no
way Of anticipating, that there would
be any more funds required for the
fiscal year of 1880; and.
WHEREAS, there was a total crop
failure in Sheridan County, Montana.
in the fall of 1881 on account Of ex-
IRENE drought conditions, all of
which conditions principally came
about after said budget had been
fixed by the said County Commits
~sioners, and on account of such crop
failure, and much sickness prevail
ing throughout Sheridan county dur
ing the past winter on account Of the
flu and other diseases, there have
been many more applications made
to said Board, for Outside Poor than
WINS ever anticipated and more than
could reasonably have been expected
or anticipated, on account of
such conditions and hard times pre-
vailing in Sheridan County, Montana
and the fund from which said Out
side Poor Contracts are paid, is now
practically depleted, and unless some
more funds are appropriated to said
budget, there will be much distress
and suffering caused throughout
Sheridan County, on account of the
County not being able to take care
of the sick and ether patients neces-
sarily requiring aid from the county
and who have no funds to provide
for themselves, and by reason that
such conditions have come about in
Sheridan County Montana, since said
budget has been fixed, which could
not reasonably have been ~foreseen at
the time of making up said budget.
an emergency exists, and that it will
take approximately Two Thousand
($2,0O0l Dollars more in said funds
to provide adequate relief for such
Outside Poor Contracts; and,
WHEREAS, said expense could
not reasonably have been foreseen at
the time of making said budget, an
emergency is hereby declared to ex-
list, and that it will require approx
imately Two Thousand (s2,OO) Dol
lars more to compensate said budget
for Outside Poor Contracts, during
the present fiscal year.

ed, that a Notice be published by the
