One Inmate Pays After County Inmate Care Costs Highlighted
Oct. 15. Only one of fifteen inmates at the Institution for the Feeble Minded in Columbus from Meigs County is able to pay for her board. Probate Judge Roberts notes county outlays are high, with six months’ costs for fourteen inmates totaling 2038.79 dollars, requiring local funds as the state offers no aid. Judge Roberts will review county inmates to see if any can be returned home or contribute to care costs. A separate note mentions pig iron shipments from Ironton to Pomeroy via Hocking Valley lines and a dispute over freight charges.
