BIBB SUPERIOR COURT
Recommend that Inferior Court levy a tax sufficient to create $500 for the
purpose of the Poor School fund, to educate 412

Regret that pauperism is on increase in this county. Request Legislature to
pass a law authorizing the Inferior Court to
purchase a suitable farm where paupers may be sent to earn a portion of
their support.
Request Legislature representatives to alter the present Tax Law to levy ad
valorem tax. The present Tax Law is unequal and
unfair to merchants and citizens who live within the incorporated towns.
