POOR DISTRICT
NOT affected
Mr.. FULLER SAYS 1T WON'T
COME UNDER RIPPER BILL.
The New Charter Provides for the
Creation Of Department Of Char
tiles, but Mr.. Fuller Says That It
Won't Apply to Scranton District
Because the Latter Was Chartered
Before Scranton Was Yet a City
and Because 1t Includes The Bo-
rough of Dunmore.

II is very probable that there will he
no change in the management of the
affairs of the Scranton poor district
when the city government of Scranton
Is reorganized under the provisions Of
the ripper bill. At least that Is the
opinion of the members of the poor
board and they're about the only per-
sons in the city who have given the
matter any consideration whatever.
The ripper bill provides for the Gre
alton Of a department Of public chari-
ties and correction, the same TO be In
charge and under the direct supervision
of a director who is To he appointed
by the recorder The exact reading of
the first section of the article crc-
ating this department is as follows:
The department of charities and cor
reCtion shall be under the charge of ono
person. who shall be the head thereof.
To this department shall be conilded
the construction, control ana repair.

supervision Of the charities, aims

and grounds and all other similar in
stitutons the control or government
of which is intrusted to the city"
Director Frederick Fuller. who is
about as we'll versed in the law regard
ing poor affairs as any man in the city.
stated TO II Tribune man yesterday at
ternoon that the last few words Of this
section relieved all doubt as to whether
poor affairs of the Scranton district
would pass under the control of such
a department as above mentioned.
THE control of the poor affairs of
the Scranton district" said he. "have
never been intrusted to the city of
Scranton. In Pittsburg and Allegheny
the poor affairs al the present time
may be under the control of the mum
icipaitles and the ripper bill may apply
to them but it certainly will not apply
to the Scranton poor district.
"rhe Scranton poor district secured
charter under a special act in 1862
while the city was yet a borough II
was some years after when Scranton
became "a city. The poor district has
always levied and collected its own
taxes and transacted its business on

There is still another cons idera ioli.
The Scranton poor district comprises
not only the city of Scranton. but also
the entire borough of Dunmore. It is
manifestly plain that the poor affairs
