Repeal of chapter 9 debate on county relief and trustees
The House debates amendments to repeal or modify the chapter governing county poor relief. Discussion covers trustees power, boards of supervisors, and the balance between poorhouses and discretionary aid. Speakers argue economic prudence, county variation, and the risk of over-spending, with committee substitutes and proposed amendments to shape relief authority.
