BURT CHAFFEE,

Justice of Peace.

(keeper or officer in charge of the Western

New York Institution for Deaf Mutes).

Satisfactory evidence having been furnished to me this day, I have selected James White, a deaf mute of the Town of Concord, in the County of Erie and State of New York, a son of Philip White, and who was born May 10, 1870, as a county pupil in the Western New York Institution for Deaf Mutes, at Rochester, for a term which will expire May 10, 1892 (at which time he will be twelve years of age), to be supported and educated during that period at the expense of the County of Erie, pursuant to the provisions of chapter 325 of the Laws of 1863, as amended by chapter 213 of the Laws of 1875.

Dated Springville, June 29, 1887.

C. C. STANBRO,

Supervisor of the Town of Concord.

As provision is made by Laws 1863, chap. 325, § 4, as amended by Laws 1875, chap. 213, § 4, for the payment by the County Treasurer of the county from which deaf mutes are sent, of their support and tuition, it would seem to be the duty of the Supervisor, on sending such a pupil to one of the state institutions, to promptly report his action to the County Treasurer.
