CAROLINE ALMSHOUSE
WILL BE ABOLISHED

The Caroline County Farm, or bet
ter known as the almshouse, is to be
abolished after December 31st, as an
economy measure, it was announced
last week by Harry L. Sullivan, presi-
dent of the Board of County Commits
sioners.
The commissioners have not decid-
ed whether to retain the county farm
of approximately 800 acres on rem
tai basis, or to sell it and use the mon
ey for current expenses. The live
stock and equipment will be sold at
public auction.
Eight pensioners are living at the
farm which is managed by William
Gardner and supervised by George
w. Clendaniel, county agricultural
agent.
The old age pensions and other
forms of charity administered by the
board of public welfare afford an at
tractive alternative to the almshouse
plan, it is said, because the county
pays only one-sixth of the cost of old
age pensions.
The almshouse has been a Caroline
county institution since 1888, when
the first one was established on a
six acre tract one-half mile south of
Denton. Caroline county, itself, was
not formed until 1774.
