Grand Jury Recommends New Barn at County Home Farm
In a presentment to Judge E. B. Creps on Thursday evening the December Grand Jury urged a new barn at the County Home farm if the Supreme Court rules the Department of Assistance Act unconstitutional and the County Home remains county property after year’s start. Officials expect continued county responsibility, possibly renamed County Infirmary for the Elderly. A rent survey suggests stable inmate numbers. Yale physiologists H B Himwich and J B Fazikas note candy aids sugar supply and thus favors candy over cigarettes.
