The county author are hopeful th the proposition to ie bouds for the es tablishment of a poor farm will carry at the coming general election, as they be lteve it is the only solution of the problem caring for the indigent element of Pottawattamie county and relieving the tax- payers of the burden. Experience of ad- Joluing counties has shown that not only can a county poor farm be made self sus- taining. but in some instances, it has proven a source of revenue Under the law as it now etands, only 1 mill can be levied anuually for the county poor fund and this for several years has proven insufficient to provide for the care of the poor of this county. A 1-mili levy averages about $13,000, while for sev- oral years the cost of caring for the poor of Pottawattamie county has been in the neigborhood of $20,000. The poor fund has been exhausted long before the close o the year and the deficit has had (0 be made up by drawing from the general fund. The county supervisors who have given the question considerable attention hav: for some time been of the opinion that the ouly way to reduce the expense or caring for the public charges, is to es- tablish a cousty poor farm. At their lase wession, 1t was decided to submit the propos sition to the voters. The proposition In short is whether the county shall expens A sum not to exceod $20,000 in the purs chase of land and the erection of suitable buildings for a poor farm and levy a tax not to exceed 1 mill on the dollar ea year for the next two years. In the event of the proposition carrying the poor farm would be paid for In two years Experience in Other Counties. In their investigation the county supers visor learned that Harrison county for s number of ‘years has had a poor farm. which has been self sustaining. In Mills county the same was found to be the caso, while in several countles in othes parts of the state the supervisors secureq statistics showing that the poor farms with careful management have not only proven self sustaining, but are bringing in » revenue to the county. While the super. visors of this ceunty do not expect that a poor farm here can be made a source ot revenue from the start, they do belleve thar 1t properly and systematically managed, it can be made at least self sustaining within @ very short time. It suitable land can be procured at a moderate figure it is the intention of ths county board, in the event of the propo- sition meeting with favor at the hands of the voters, to purchase not less than eighty acres and possibly a quarter section of good farming land. On this suitable bulldings Wil be erected. The buildings will be plain but substantial and of such a character that they can be added to froms time to time If found necessary. Supervisor Hansen, while In the city yes- terday, sald he was hopeful that the propo- sition would carry, as it certainly would be to the benefit of the taxpayers, upon whom the burden of caring for the poor fell. He said: “The establishment of a county poor farm is in wmy opinion the only £olution of caring for the pauper ele- ment, which is and will always be with s, at the least possible cost. There are many reasons why this county should have a poor farm. One is that it will surely tend to icssen the number of per- sons now receiving aid from the county. Benefits Are Apparent. Thera are many persons who do not hesitate to take from the county so long as they are not cailed upon to give any- thing in return for it. This especially ap- plies to ablebodied persons. Now, it is a well-established fact that this class of people will not go into a poorhouse, where they will be called upon to work in re turn for the support that they receive. With a poor farm the county will be rid of this class of paupers. Then again, un- der the present system, the county obliged to pay rent for the dwellings occu- pied by a number of old and destitute women and others who are without means of eupport except such as provided by the county. These people would be far bets ter cared for on a poor farm, where they would get proper nourishmient and when necessary proper medical attendance Again, the poorhouse would be a better place for the children of families. They would be well sent to school and their morals looked after, which in a city cannot be done. my part, I belleve it is to the best inter- est of every taxpayer In county to cast his vote in favor of proposition.’ The proposition has been but little dis- cussed in the city, but what has been shows that the people generally are In favor of a poor farm. Such reports as have been received from the county generally show that the farmers are in favor of it, as they believe it will lessen their taxes in the years to come. the Howell's Antl “cures coughs, colds.

The registratfon boards will be In ses- sion today in the several precincts of the ity ffom 8 a. m. to 9 p. m. They will also be in session between the same hours to- morrow and Satur Every elector who desires to cast his ballot on Tuesday, No- vember 6, at the general election must reg- Ister anew.

Every elector who wishes to exercise the right of his franchise must reglster either today, tomorrow or Saturday, and as Chal man Wright of the republican county cen- tral committee puts it, “it 1s better to go early snd avoid the rush and get your name on the list today.” aturalized citizens will be required when registering to swear positively as to the date and place where they secured thelr final papers or else produce the pa- pers themselves. City Clerk Phillips sug- gests that in order to avold any possible trouble it would be best for all naturalized ecitizens to have their papers with them when registering.

By direction of the council he has beem or dered to lay orosswalks at the followin intersections Twenty-seventh stree! east and south sides; on the north ot L street on the alley between Forty-first | and Forty-second streets, on the alley b tween Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets, on the alley between Thirty-elghth and Thirty-ninth streets, on Thirty-eighth, Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets, at Thir- ty-second and T streets and at the alley between T street and the city limits. In connection with street repairs Com- missioner Clark says that he is on the track of m strect roller which he thinks can be bought for $100. This roller Is what is known as a water roller and ean bo filled to weigh from one to five tons. If the council will buy this machine the work of the road scraper will be enhanced greatly, as after the scraping the loose airt will be rolled hard, so as to make & solid roadway.
