Commissioners' Report from the 1899 Annual Report of Sullivan County, New Hampshire Submitted by: liztatt@hotmail.com Commissioners’ Report TO THE CITIZENS OF SULLIVAN COUNTY:- We herewith present our report, and also the reports of the other County Officers, as required by law. The net debt of the County has decreased $6,081.80, leaving the net indebtedness of the County, Jan. 1, 1900, $6,930.59. There has been expended for repairs upon the jail barn about $600. The Superintendent, Matron and their assistants at the County Farm have shown the same interest in the welfare and comfort of the inmates during the past year, as in former years, and have cheerfully assisted to make their lot as happy as possible. It is our wish that more of the citizens of the County would visit the farm and judge for themselves of the condition and care of those unfortunates who are dependent upon the county’s bounty. These poor unfortunate beings have come to look forward to Christmas as the one bright spot in their lives, and to these ladies and gentlemen, who each year so kindly contribute and by their presence make at least one day in the year a bright and happy one to them, we wish to extend our sincere thanks.
