Charities and relief — the county's net, at this township's share
New Carlisle never held a charity of county scale, and this section does not pretend otherwise. What the township held was relief at household scale — a township trustee's poor relief, lodge benevolence, a mutual association that paid for stolen horses — and what it holds now is a share, never itemized in any source reached, of the county institutions seated in South Bend. This addendum works the leg the audit found unowned: the town's own forms first, then the county net institution by institution, each with its founding and its present state, and the sector's directory state dated at the close.
