Erie November 7 A county court to hear arguments from the poor board’s solicitor and the county commissioners on the requisition for $80,000 for 1914. The board argues the sum is essential as almshouse costs rise and beds fill each winter. Officials note the growing need and refurnishing costs, while commissioners warn the sum would strain the treasury, with little left for other duties. Four decades of rising requests since 1910 are cited.
