Opposition to building a county poor house grows
Green Township voters say no to a proposed county poor house and doubt a state commission will propose a suitable alternative. A letter writer notes that public sentiment remains against it, arguing the current system, though imperfect, is preferable to housing all indigent in one facility. Another reader in East Mahoning County also opposes a county poor house, predicting Indiana and Whits townships may differ but urging a countywide vote against the project.
