INFORMATION ABOUT
THE CARE OF THE POOR

The Journal man was sitting in the
office of the State Board of Charities
and Corrections, chatting with Sec.
James F. Bagley and the conversation
turned to the art of and the work of de-
vising and putting into shape compre-
hensive form for blanks which can be
sent to all kinds of people and yet secure
from each the desired kind of Informal
ton. Those who have been up against
this proposition one or more times. know
what is meant by that observation.
We'll" said Mr.. Bagley. that reminds
me of case of that sort right here in
this office. You have doubtless many
times heard complaints from people, both
in cities and towns, that they could find
nothing in the annual municipal report
that would enable them to tell how much
it cost the town or city to run the town
or city farm or almshouse. I've heard it
so have you.
This board ever since it has been in
existence has had that fact in mind
quietly watching and working on some
effective way of getting at that subject
and in the past year has been sending
letters all over the State requesting in
formation regarding the cost of running
the poor houses. The form in which that
information has come to this office has
been carefully scrutinized and the infor-
nation carefully compiled, until we have
made up our minds as to the best form of
a blank to send to everyone to obtain the
proper information.
Here is one and think YOU will agree
with me that if the town and city Off
Gals will use it in making out their
care of poor returns for their annual re-
ports. the kicking from the peopIe about
being unable to find how much it costs
to run the almshouse will cease.
THE Board of Charities and Correc-
tons has adopted it the standard form
for handling that matter and we think
it will prove effective III arriving at the

Care of Paupers

The Maine Board of Charities and
corrections has given great amount
or time to the consideration of the best
method of caring for the paupers scat
tered through the length and breadth
or our State. The convictions of the
members of the board is ably expressed
in the recent statements Of Hon. Robert
Treat Whitehouse Of Portland, q men,
Der OF the board. in an address in Port
land, when he said they were in favor
of the county and perhaps district sys-
tenn of aim houses. in place of the ante
quate and almost wholly inadequate
system now in vogue. whereby each
city or town cares for its own paupers
in many cases far from furnishing the
proper care and treatment
Asked as to the opposition, if any.
Mr. Whitehouse said he knew of none
that appeared in organized form and
the only thing he could see against It
was the doing away Of an ancient in
stitution that had been handed down
to US from our fore fathers
| Mr. Whitehouse said that there are
III aims houses in the State, but that
u OF them have nobody in them. This
leaves 1O4 that are open and in regular
use. Out of this number, however.
there are seven that have no inmates.
, 10 which have only one, ~ that have
only two. and SO that have less than
10 each. In fact. there are only II
that have more than 10 inmates. In
1914 it cost the towns and cities S4e2.-
900 to care for their poor, which makes
a per capita tax of 81 cents on every
in, hn Stot4
it cost the State only $4,000 to care
for it's paupers. a tax Of nine cents Der
person. The following year the cost
was $4,000. or a per capita Of 50 cents.
The States cost was $4,000, a tax of
II cents.
The cost Of keeping the poor varies
greatly in different towns. In 1914 the
town of Atkinson paid the most $500
for one person, while the average was
500. In 1915 the town Of Lowell paid
s484 for one and the average was s61.
The average cost to the towns Der
inhabitants runs variously at different
times and in different towns, Perkins.
for istance, pays for it's town poor at
the rate Of IS. SO per capita Of its pop-
ulation. The points to be made out of
these figures are the great burden on
the towns and the inefficient economy
as we'll as the great inequalities upon
different towns.
There are ISL paupers in the State
and it stands to reason that they can
be cared for much more economically
if one considers only the money part
of it by grouping them than they can
be in the present way. it having been
conclusively shown that the town
unit is far too small for the item of
