' LU:irvar<l llonilcl] The oost of dieting the si-xty-one in­ mates of the McHenry county poor farm at T?4>'tland has averaged $1.(>1 per week per person during the last six months, while the total cost per individual, which includes clothing, boots and shoes, tobacco, medicine and undertakers' bills, has amounted to >2.18 per person during the same per­ iod, according to the report submitted by the poor farm committee to the board of supervisors at a regular meet­ ing at Woodstock on Tuesday of this week. The report of the committee showed that the expenses of conduct­ ing the county farm and keeping its sixty-one itfmates totaled $7,792.75. The showing thus made was highly pleasing to the board. • An unusually large number of claims were, allowed, the number presented exceding any known at any one board session in years. Claims where aid was given the poor of several towns were the most known in a long time. Harvard has forged to the front in this espec^, passing Algonquia and Wood­ stock, heretofore the big ones in the claims presented for the poor and needy. With Harvard in first place, Algonquin comes second, Woodstock third and Marengo fourth. Hartland, Coral, Riley and Seneca had the distinction of not presenting a solitary claim in support of their poor, while Hebron, Greenwood and Rich­ mond each hfed but one claim. "This thing of county aid for the poor instead of town aid is distasteful to the small towns and we must submit the propo­ sition for a vote to return to the old plan," said a well known supervisor from one of the rural towns at the con­ clusion of the meeting. As the matter is now all the towns of the county share in defraying the bills for the poor and as the larger towns have the bulk of them, the smaller ones like Alden, Dunham, Hartland, Riley, Seneca, Greenwood, Hebron and Burton object. The up­ shot may be return to the former cus­ tom of each town paying its own bills for its poor. Supervisors Harrison, Brotzman and Renie were appointed a committee to look after the details of a $16,000 steel, iron and cement bridge that is being built across the Fox river in Nunda at the point known as Burton's bridge. The board consumed considerable time in discussing the receipt of a resolu­ tion from the state highway commis­ sion in connection with the new road law. As its adoption at this time would carry an appropriation, the board decided to withhold action there­ on until a later meeting in order to ascertain whether an amendmenttaight not be made to the law by the present legislature. While no vote was taken, it was clear the views entertained by most of the board respecting the law was that each county should be permitted to build such roads as ^vould meet its needs and that the present road law is defective in many of its provisions. McHenry county expended about $11- 000 last year for the construction of about three-fourths of a mile of road in compliance with the law. The ap­ propriation of $32,000 desired, one-half to be paid by the county and one-half by the state, would build but a trifle of new road and all of it out of the city of Woodstock. Bills for services rendered by three Harvard physicians and presented to the board came in for the pruning knife, the claim of one local physician being cut from $265 to $140; another from $130 to $95, and another from $122 to $98.50. All of them were for services rendered during the small pox outbreak here the past winter. A Harvard drug store suffered a deduc­ tion from $20 to $2.50 and a well known resident of the locality had his claim rejected where he sougnt to have the county pay a physician's bill of $71.50' during the small pox in his home. The board went on record to the effect that no claims would be allowed where the party was able to pay. Judge C. H. Donnelly, occupant of the circuit court bench, was given hearty endorsement for re-election in a resolution presented by Supervisor Wright of Marengo and seconded by Supervisor Turner of Hebron. The resolutions set forth that Judge Don nelly has served long and faithfully on the bench of the circuit court; that his honesty and ability are unquestioned; that McHenry county voters should support him without regard to party; that McHenry county should feel hon­ ored in having a resident judge and that the board shades its fullest con- ttdence in his fidelity and integrity. The resolutions were passed by a unan­ imous vote. Sheriff Wandrack appeared before the board and asked that the custom­ ary annual allowance of $300 for livery hire be increased to $500 and that if this sum was given him he would in­ vest in an automobile, thereby being able to give quicker and more satis­ factory service in the discharge of MB duties, saying such action would assist greatly in his being able to pursue law transgressors. The board was much impressed with the sheriff's presenta­ tion of the case, but decided it would be best to postpone action until the meeting next month, which would start a new year, and because it would be best in other ways. It is a safe guess "Big Charlie" will be granted his request. < Use our cold cream for massage pur­ poses. It feeds the skin and keeps it fresh sod beauuiui.
