Mr. Brown presented a minority report from said committee, as follows : To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of Washtenaw County : Gentlemen : Your commif tee, to whom was retened the following resolution '. ' Resolved, That the chairman of the Board of Supervisors appoiut a coinmittee oi' three Supervisors, whose duty shall be to investígate and, if possible, to suggest sorae meaus by whish the cost of maintaining the poor of the coimty may be lessened," have had the same under consideration, and a ïnajority of your committee have made a partial report thereon, and iustead of reporting some way of lessening the expense oí supportiug the poor, have recomniended a change in the mannor of doitig it, and they propose as a remedy, that each township shaü support its own poor: To this I object, tor the reasou that it is unjust. It is placing upon our already oppressively taxed cities a burden that does uot, legitiinately, belong to thexn. A large per cent of our paupers are tramps, vagabonds, coming froin nowhere and bouud to the same place. The expense of taking care of these, I ao not think auy reasonable man would say, in justice, belongs to the cities alone. Then, tliere is auother class that a superficial observer inight say belougs to your cities and viüages, and that they ought to take care of them. Is this true ? Do they come to the cities of their own accord 'f or, are they compelled to it 't Some of them are our owu citizens that have been laboriug men, poor managers, eatmg and drinking to-day and takiug no thought of to-inorrow ; who, wheu winter sets in, or sickuess comes upou them, are compelled to cali upon the towu or couuty for relief. More of them are the widows and orphans of this same class of men. Then there is another class of our'owu native bom citizens that are compelled to come to our cities for a shelter, - íor a place to cover their heads. They are men without Uuancial ability, ignoraut and indolent. Let them apply to a farmer for a house or a home, the invariable reply is, " we do iiot want you ! ' Have you a house tliat we eau live in '(" The auswer is " uo ;" and ii they liave, tliey choose not to let that class of nitm occupy ït. Wliat is the result 't They gather in the cheap teuement houses oi our cities, and often wheu asked the questlou : " VVhy did you come here t" the reply is, " we were compelled to, we could uut lind a place to live in the country ! we know we ahould fare better and would be glad to live there ; but we cminot got a house to live in !" But the largest class of thoso whom we are callcd upon to support, as our statistics show, are not our own citizens. They are the foreign population wlio are poor labormg men, and uaturally settle in our cities. Thuy have no ineans ol support but tlieir daily labor, and ouly uuderstaud tne most coininon kinds oí work ; and, wheu employnient íails, or sickness comes upou them, they aro thrown either upou the charity of the people, or the towu, for support. Is It right, or just to throw at least uiuety per cent ol this burdeu of tax upou our cities, seventy-üve per cent of which does not legitimately belong to them 'i It certainly does uot, in any way, lessen the expense, but ratner adds to it, and DUÜC08 the buamuss more comlicated aud diiritult. The majority of your committee offer uo reasou lol the change. They would sunply take the burden trom the many and bind it ou the few whü are already overburdened with taxes. We say it is not just, and most respect! uily enter our proiest agaiust the measure, asking the members of this Board to weigh the mattor caretully before they bind this heavy burdeu upon our cities.
