The Commissioners conclude that aslthe impror: meats during the yearlB72 amount to over elevc.si.ti dred dollars, and priricipally in buildings. it would be right to charge it to, the townships, but should I-- deducted from the arceunt ($995 43) to be raid be ounty poor. The price charged the townships, &c., for board the County House, upon the• estimate of the cost week for each pauper,is a small fraction over two lars and three cents per week. This includes even thing expended upon the paupers—food, clothir medicine, schooling, &c. There have been at U. County House during the year 84 paupers, and an 6" erage of over 43 during the whole year. 25 of thts are over 70 years of age, and 10 of these over 80 yEtr, of age.. Nearly all of them are sickly and need agraa deal Waiting upon. The balance are nearly all otic and insane. The Com.missioners were compelltd this year to build ap extra building in which to keg. the insane, so they could be kept from doing injuiy themselves, to others, and to property. The Sulena tendent is compelled to hire all the help to carry tit the farm and to do the work in the house, not getor.; but little help from the paupers. The - coat of do - tc: ing and keeping the insane at the Lunatic How* Harrisburg is $3 per week. This does not mow clothing or any other expenses. The Commissions: in allowing temporary relief outside the County Roue have generally consulted with the township Super - :, sors before granting it and would urge the passage a a law authorizing a county poor tax instead of "tolrr ship tax. The Superintendent, Mr. Robinson, ea.! meets the approbation of the Commissioners cod tee inmates of the County House, and he deserves ma,: credit for Ws management. The count* is forme:. in haring such a man to rasnage,ths county, properti And his humanity to the paupers Is worthy of pram P. V.
