sired to copy
The Peov Efosssc,
Week before last wo briefly reverted to
tho nroicct ofbuildinn a County Poor
House, got up by a few individuals in Dan
ville, to throw the expense of tho pour of
jSlahoning upon tho county generally. o
1hen expressed a belicl that it would entail
upon the county a large annual expense, in
dependent of tho original cost of the farm
. and buildings. Wc have since been con
firmed in this belief, by reading reports of
-tho Directors of the Poor House of Bucks'
county for the yeard 1835, 1830, and 1837,
'. furnished 113 by a friend.. It is now about
20 years since tho first establishment of a
poor house in that county. They have a
farm of 3 or 400 acres, upon which has
"been erected buildings. Notwithstanding
tho original cost of the property has been
paid; yet the yearly expenses of tho estab
hshmcnt are continually increasing, as ap
pears from the following statements which
wc gather from the reports before us
For the vcar 1835, it cost the county to
sustain the poor house establishment, indc-
pendent of the income from the farm, about
01000.
In 1830, 5500
In 1637, 0000
averaging about per year for every
pauper lemainining in tho poor houso on
the first day of January, of each year, inde
'dependent of the interest upon the original
cost of the farm and buildings, Wiion we
tako into consideration tho fact, that in the
winter season, thc number of pauper in the
Jiouse is much greater than in the summer,
tho actual average cost will be increased
ito mora than fi.Sft. which is mnrn. t'innnn
average cost of tho paupers of Columbia
County under the present arrangement.
1 hero are items of expenses 111 the poor
house accounts of Bucks County which
.liclp to swell up tho enormous expenses
of tho cstablishmct. and to which wo should
bo aliko subject. Wo refer to tho salaries
of thc officers ol the institution, and the cx
pense of transporting paupirs to thc poor
liouse. Tho average salary paid to officors
and their assistants, is about 1000 dollars,
besides about (00 dollars paid to constables
aud justices fur their services in carrying
jiaupers from the different townships to tho
institution, as no pauper is received unless
brought by a constable, upon the order of a
jnsttnn of the jipace; making tho round sum
of nearly $3300 for salaries and fees
which Is alnios entirely disponscd with un
dcr tho rprfisoiil flyslcrrl. 1i!.m like iho
other oxpenscs of the institution) is equally
divided among the taxnblcs of the connty;
a township having no pauper pays an equnl
ptoporlion according to her assessment, as
the ono having twenty. Prom other coun
ties, where Poor Houses arc established, we
hear statements which show that they ate
more expensive than tho present mode,
but not having official reports, wo cannot
give certain statements from any other coun
ty than tho above. But this is sufficient to
show the impolicy of our county cnteiing
into an experiment which, to say the least,
will not decrease, if it does not increase,
their poor tax. Can it be that we arc bet
tor managers than tho pcoplo of Ducks
county, or that we shall have officers who will
be moro economical than theirs? They
have had the experience of twenty years,
and yol their expenses .increase every year.
We arc to enter into it at a time when tho
county is already burthencd with taxes in
consequences of building bridges, and other
expenses, and when, by so doing, we neat
ly double them, fur years to come, and fas
ten upon the county a debt that will remain
a mortgage upon every man's farm, the in
terest of which must be paid annually.
The poor arc now sustained with but a
small tax in most of the townships; so small
tliat it is hardly felt, but we venture to say,
that, should the poor house law go into op
eration, their tax would be nearly threblcd.
Arc the people prepared fur this ? If not,
let every man attend the polls and cast hi
vole acainst the law. Every exertion will
bo used by tho people of Danville to pro
cure its acceptance. It is for their interest,
and all who know them know that when
that is at stauc, no nams or expense ate
snared. AVc arain rencat. let no man re-
fusc lQ q Jw wo doM nQl volc a.
gainst it, adds to the strength of its advo
cates. TICKETS against the acceptance of the
POOR HOUSE LAW, will next week,
be prepared, antf may be had upon applica
tion to this office.
Valentine Best is riding the county daily
electioneering for himself Protlionolary.
We understand that he spends most of his
time in the Fishing Crock townships. He
lias almost become a removal man, so anx
ious is he to secure the votes of this section
of the county, anilis ready to make any bar-
ga;n l0 advance his election
He is more
plianl ow lllall hc wa3 ast wintor wlen he
pp0Sed the appointment of any removal
man to oflico. He then thought ho was
" cock of tho walk," and would crow at
the sight of a removal man, and snap his
fingers in defiance; but the tune is changed,
nnd he finds it necessary to practice his old
gamo of promi8ing 0flce. nc has already
several Judges and Sheriffs on the carpet,
and as manv candidates for the Legislature1
lie can not, however, succeed he will be
literally used up, and will have " to wait
until 18-iO" It is enough for him to do tho
duties ol- the post oniuC) the pcopIe do not
want to confer too many offices on one man,
