FIRST READING OF BILLS.
number of bills were read first time and re.
ferred TO committees.
THE ORPHAN BILL
On motion Of Mr.. MATHEWS, the bill for the sup
port OF orphans and abandoned children was taken
up.
Mr.. CARR of Yuba moved to strike out the
tnaC Sucn aOand ndoned child shall
have been an inmate of such asylum for one year"
Mr.. MATHEWS opposed the amendment.
Mr. CARR said the child ought to receive aid from
the time they are taken ill., 1t costs more, and is
more trouble to for infant than for older
child, and he could see no justice in it. Ii they are
in there for month they should be taken care OF.
Mr.. BRUEER sad it was not desired to have
| child taken in for week, and allow the managers
to draw pay for a longer period.
Mr.. Fox said he would not assume that tie mana
gers would make false statements The State ought
to pay in proportion to the time child emains
there. He favored striking out the clause
Mr.. Cook said this clause was put in in accordance
with the wishes of many asylums. 1t was to guard
against abuses OF various kinds
Mr.. MCDADR said the asylum ought to be paid for
the time which they support these poor little waits
1t is gross injustice to compel the asylums to sup
port them for year.
Mr. McINTcsH could not see why there should be
any exception. H considered t is q blow at the
interior, because if an asylum is TO be started in
San joaquin, they would have to keep the children
whole year before being entitled to receive State
aid, while at the same time the people are paying
taxes to support other asylums-
The motion to strike out carried.
MIR. BRUNER moved to insert g Provided the aban
doned child shall have been an inmate iOr six
months" Lost.
Mr.. McINrosu moved to amend so that orphan
asyums having ten inmates can have State aid
Mr.. MATTHEWS said the reason for limiting the
number to twenty was because there are greater
chances for abuse might have ten half
orphans OF his own, and it was not designed that he
may draw money from the State. Twenty, he
thought was low enough.
M. TYLER thought it made no difference to the
State where these orphans are taken of. If the
parties in the interior choose to take care of their
own orphans, it don't cost the State any more. He
could see no reason for it.
Mr.. HARRIS said the reason for limiting the num-
Der to twenty WAS that it far cheaper to support
orphans III the large Institutions than in the small
ones, They are much better cared for in the large
institutions than is possible in the small ones.
Mr.. McDADE read from former report showing
that if it is reduced many families may draw aid for
haforphans OF their
Mr.. CARR opposed the amendment 1t takes three
times as much TO support them as the State con-
trbuted, and ii they reduced down it will cost
three times as much, and they cannot be as well
taken care OF.
Mr. ANTHONY said the bill had been thoroughly
discussed. He objected to limiting it to twenty
In the interest of the country districts he wished
protest. He did not want to vote for monopoly in
orphans 1t was better not to have these children
all congregated in the large cities 1t better to
have them distributed around through the country.
Mr.. LANE favored the amendment for the benefit
OF the interior counties. The orphans can thus be
taken care OF ~ home, without sending them to the
large cities.
Mr.. YORK said there was not much danger Of mo-
n0poy. ws easy to see that these children wonld
be btter cared for and better educated where there
is large number than they be if scattered all
over the country. Ii this amendment is adopted
every old woman in every county in the State
start IN orphan asylum, and they Will not prove
profitable; hence they VIII not receive good care,
viii be poorly fed, poorly clad and poorly educated.
Mr.. ANTHONY moved to make the number Is.
The amendment was on call OF the roll, lost by
a vote of 25 to ~.
Mr.. LEACH moved to reconsider the vote by which
the provso stricken out of Section l. Carried
bY vote OF Il to SO.
The bill was then passed by vote of 70 to l.
