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


         
         [p. 258]
         
         McHENRY. - This county does not own any farm, nor maintain
       a poorhouse. Each town provides for its own poor. The super-
       visors act as overseers of the poor, and the amount reported
       expended by them for the year ending July 1, 1881, was six
       thousand five hundred and thirty-three dollars and fifty-one
       cents. Of this amount sixty-three hundred dollars was for
       outdoor relief. The overseers do not keep the accounts and
       make the reports required by law.
