Seventh Biennial Report of the
Board of State Commissioners of
Public Charities of the
State of Illinois
Presented to the Governor, November 1882


         
         [p. 239]
         
         CARROLL. - There is no change to report in the almshouse
       of this county. It is well taken care of. The grounds in
       front are tastefully arranged with shrubbery and flowers.
       The rooms, beds and bedding are in excellent order, and
       the inmates kindly treated. The number of inmates was fif-
       teen, of whom two were children, one of them illegitimate.
       There were two insane, one deaf-mute, two blind, one sick,
       one bedridden, and one cripple. Of the insane, one was in
       seclusion. The number of admissions, during the year 1881,
       was sixteen, of discharges fifteen, and there were three
       deaths. The average number for the year is nineteen, and
       the cost of maintenance about one thousand six hundred
       dollars. The amount paid for outdoor relief is nearly
       double this.
