Edgecombe County dispute over Poor House and Insane Asylum costs
In a spirited letter to a local paper a County official defends Edgecombe County expenditures for the Poor House and Insane Asylum for the year 1875. He disputes Town Creek’s figures of 10810.74 and argues total costs, including asylum furnishings, were 6415.10. He asserts inmates are well cared for, denies waste, and defends medical care, salaries, and board practices under county orders and contracts, while challenging accusations of neglect or improper payments.
