wear ending June 30, 1886, fixed sums
that respectively, in its judgment |
would take care of the claims aga.rst /

made for such purposes during the

Whereas, the demands upon said
County for the support and care OF the
poor and needy have exceeded the
amount fixed therefor by said County
Commissioners and have exceeded the
expectations Of the said Board owing to

| the citizens OF said County during the
preceding months Of the present budget
year and that most of the unemployed
of said County are without means to
support themselves and families and
further because Of the fact that the
failure Of the state and federal govern
ment to provide funds therefor has
caused the Old Age Pension Commits
sion of said County to remain inactive
and has caused extraordinary drain by
claims and demands upon the item OF
the Poor Fund Budget fixed for the
support and care Of the poor and
NEEDY. and
Whereas, on the 18th day Of Oc-
tober, 1895, the said Board passed and

and the sum Of S47O00O was there
upon added to the Poor Fund Budget
Item for the support and care of the

ton to the regular budget for said
