Homes For the Destitute.

What was Done at the Office of the
 County Commissioners Yesterday.
 Yesterday morning County Commissioners Jacobs, Baldwin and Perry met at their office Professor William H. Brewer, Judge Henry A. Burton, Secretary of the State Board of Charities, of Hartford, and Mrs. Smith, meeting was for the purpose of forming a Board of Charities for the protection of un- fortunate children of New Haven county.
 Judge Burton, at the opening of the meet ing, began by describing the work that had been done in Hartford and Windham conn., ties. He said he thought that in New Haven county there would be over one hundred children. At the almshouse there was good many. Besides these there cared for whom charitable people and insti- tutions do not look after. There were 1000 children on the poor list of the State. A large percentage of these children were sup ported or partially assisted by town aid. The number of children under sixteen years of age that was helped by the town or charit- able associations or people was estimated to be at least one per cent. of the entire popu- lat1on of the State. If, before the first of October, house was provided for the care of fifty to seventy five children 1t would take all or most all of the children in the aims houses of New Haven county.
 Commissioner Jacobs thought that the first thing to do was to find out exactly what was needed, and this could only be ascer- tained by organization. MT. Jacobs was elected chairman MT. Baldwin secretary of the organization in New Haven county. Pro- lessor Brewer and Mrs. Smith made remarks upon the proposed homes. Judge Burton estimated that the county's appropriation of $1,OOO would pay for the rent of farm house, $500; furniture, $500; salary of matron, $40O. The fuel, food, etc., would be provided for by the towns who sent chil- dren to the Home, each town having to maintain at the institution the children it sent there.
 MT. Jacobs suggested that Charles Island would be good location for the Home. It was decided that farmhouse a few miles in the country should be rented. It was also decided that Judge Burton should look after the children at the almshouses of the coun- ty and that the farmhouse should be selected by the county commissioners after Prof. Brewer had inspected the sanitary arrange ments and general healthfulness Of the place.
 The Board then adjourned to meet Tues day. October ?, at 10 a. m.
