One Of the most Important bills that

On the opening day Of the session
Delegate D. I. 3 Smith, Representative
from cabell conntyaintroduced bill
raising the maximum age of admis.
Sion to the reform school from 16 to
is years. Superintendent O. E. Oar.
nall, Of the school, who has been In
the city for5seyeral days, was called
before the committee to give his opln.
ion as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of adopting
the measure, and gave It his hearty
approval. After that there was no
objection and the bill was reported
with the vote unanimously in favor
OF 1t,
Afterward, at Mr.. Darnall's sugges.
tion, another feature was added, or
rather a substitute bill was prepared,
incorporating a e provision changing
the present plan Of collecting part Of
the funds for the maintenance Of the
Institution.
County Must Collect.
Included in the tax reform laws
passed at the extra session was a law:
providing that the various counties
should pay to the State the sum OF $50
annually for each inmate in the re.
form school except in cases where the
parents or guardian bringing the com.
plant were 81 financially able when
they should pay the said sum to the
school. However, the school was
made the collector Of the money, and
the impracticability Of the plan was
seen at once by Superintendent Oar.
nall, who Immediately called the at.
tention Of Governor White to the mat.
ter. The governor had the superin.
tendent draw up a bill making the
county the collector, and 1t was this
bill that was amalgamated with the
Smith measure, coming before the.
House as a substitute, thus retain:
ing its place on the calendar.
THE change in 1.-THE manner Of col.
lecting the money makes a vast differ
ence to the institution, said Super
intendent Darnall. why, under the
law it would be necessary for the In.
stitutlon to have an agent in every,
county In the State, or send man
from the school to the locality every
time there was an annual payment to
collect: In either case. the expense
Of collection would eat up all the
profit. Now by having the county do
its own collecting the institution is
sure to get $50 per year for every in
mate, and where the parent or guar
dian Is able to pay, the county off.
