Indigents

On motion of Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Windram, and carried, the following change was made to the present indigent list:

District No. 1 – Add Lillian Waltz - $30.00 per month.

 

Commr. Windram stated to the Board that at the end of the Budget year, if the board is in a position to do so, it might want to help the Sunrise Workshop.  The Workshop hopes to purchase a modular type home 1156 sq. ft. for $8,700.00.  Attorney Ford said that if the board does make a contribution, it should be in the terms of poor and indigent.  It was suggested that the Workshop give the Board a list of those classed as indigent, or file it with Mrs. Eastwood.  The Law states providing for the poor and indigent.

 

There being no further business to bring before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 11:15 a.m.
