following report, which was adopted :
Mr. Ciirman,de.:
Your special committe on tha subject of
a petition for county aid to build a bridge
In the town of Dimmick respectfully re
port, that In the opinion of the committee
the proposed bridge, if contracted for ju
diciously, would not cost twenty cents on
the $100 of the assessment of said towa
The committee are of the opinion, also,
that the said bridge is not upon a highway
used by any considerable portion of the
public ; that it is on a cross road, and said
road is partly fenced tip, with gates to ac
commodate the small travel thereon.
The committee, also, are of the opinion
that a bridge in all respects sufficient to
accommodate the travel on said road for
many years to come, can be built at small
expense. The committee, therefore, being
of the opinion that a btidge costing twenty
cents on the $W0 of the assessment of
said town, is not necessary at said point,
pray to tie relieved from further consider
ation of the subject.
All of whlcn I resHctftilly submitted, i

Ciiaulks Glints, Chairman.
On motion of Supervisor SIcLauchlan,
the claims of overseers of the poor, from
which said committee asked to be relieved,
were ordered paid.
The following reports, submitted by the
committee on pauper claims, were also
auopted :
Mr. Chairman, dc: We hereby submit
our annual report of the county asylum,
jail, and Indigent sick if the city of Ot
tawa: There has been no uuntual amount cf
sickness In either plnce.
The sanitary condition of the town has
been above the avenge of t itles of Its size;
probably, birgely due to its excellent water
supply.
The jail Is in as excellent a sanitary con
dltlon as It Is jvisslble, from its faulty con
structlon In manner of heating, ventilation,
and culitiarv department.
The addition of the Ice house to the r-.sy.
lum has been a grand Improvement to that
Institution; thereby furnishing a means for
the preservation of meat, not only In an
economic point, but bIso by giving a more
healthful article of diet.
The number remaining at the last report
was li:l. Admitted since, 132; discharged,
101 ; died, 1!; births, 3. Making the total
cared for during the year, 255.
The percentage of deaths per 1,00, Is
7.5.
The causes of death are as follows: In
sane, (1, including epileptics; carclmoul'u,
2; general debility und fid age, 2; Injury,
2 one from a fracMirn of the hip joint In
an old gentleman, und one from being
burned about the client; gangrene of the
leg, 1 ; pneumonia, 1.
Tlie OkI (pi'dlty und rersonal care of
that c.l.f-H wf Inmates w uo, trom unavoida
ble accident, improvidence, Intemperance,
and pernicious haiiits, have been obliged to
seek the asylum for a home, has been all
that can be reasonably aeked at the hands
of a charitable public.
There is another class whom, for the
want of better iK'coiiiitKlatic.ns, the county
has been obliged to furnish quarters with
the tlrst mentioned parties a class whose
disability appeals to our teiiderest sympa
thy : I refer to the Insane.
In the last ten years, i55 have hud a
hearing before our County Court aud de
clared insane, making an average, In round
numbers, of I to every 1,500 Inhabitants of
the county, annually.
Two years ago, the S'nte relieved the
asylums of all, or neirly all, of tlilr In
sane. 15ut in consequence of the failure of
the State to furnish snllielent quarters,
those Institutions hccoinlni: overcrowded,
they were obliged to refuse additional pa
tients unless relieved by an equ d number
in tlie asylum, so tint at the present report
we have twenty four incurables In the
county asylum.
Relieving rs we do, thftt the care
of this class should le placed upon
entirely a better nud different footing
from tli'ise in the ordinary asylum for
the indigent, en a footinir simllur per.
haps to our Stufe institutions for the
care cf like Individuals, we feel that we
w-.mlJ be negligent of our duty did we not
appeal to your generous natures to carefully
consider this subject, asking of you, the
Hoard of Supervisors of tlie large and
wealthy county of J.a Salle, to begin to
cast about you. evolve and mature plans
liMiklng to tlie care of all our Insane.
The present mode Is inhuman and dis
tressing in this: A party is declared Insane;
pending admittance to the State institution,
they are sent to the county asylum ; the pa
tient is In a violent state of delirium, and,
with no suitable quarters or attendants, ne
H tilers kept for days, awaiting an answer
from Kankakee or Klein, nude necessary
by the authority vested iu tlie superintend
ents of these institutions as to the admis
sion of such patifut. The amount of suf
fering endured by such p.itients Is often
most distressing. Th plaus of admission
ought to be corrected by law, so that as soon
as declared Insane, they would te taken to
the State asylum. If this cannot be done,
then a duty Involves upon this lioard com.
niensur.ate with a projnr ami humane care
of this most Important class of all humaa
beings.
All of which Is respectively submitted.
K. K. IlvEit, M. D.
J. C. llATtlKWAV, M. 1).
Mr. Chairman, dc: Your committee
would recommend tnst lr. Dyer and Dr.
Ilatheway be appointed physicians tor the
county asylum, county jail, and town of
Ottawa; that Dr. J. M. Iless be appointed
physician for the towns of Bruce, Eagle,
and Otter Creek; and that Dr. C. F. Ma
irar be appointed physician for the town of
LaSalle.
That Dr. Dyer and Dr. Ilatheway receive
(525 per year for such services ; that Dr.
J. M. Hess receive 20 per month for his
services ; and that Dr. C. F. Msgar receive
$150 per year for his services.
