tive Laurgaard introduced bill to rem
edy the Interpretation that the person
against whom judgment is obtained in
foreclosure suit becomes the only per
son capable of redeeming property"
In regard to this bill, Representative
Laurgaard says: "0ften times property
with a mortgage attached is decided to
second party, and it is the intention of
the grantor to relinquish all his rights in
the property. In case, however, of fore
closure of mortgage on the property,
the grantee automatically loses all right
to his equity in the property under the
present Interpretation. This bill pro
vides that the holder of the title should
be granted a year in which to redeem
the property, and in default of so doing,
the right to redeem is granted the judg-
ment debtor.'
Provision for the care of dependent,
delinquent and defective children by the
state instead of through sectarian insti-
tutions is the plan proposed in house
bill No. 4, introduced by Representa-
tive Bowman, of Washington county.
The purpose Of the bill is to define
and regulate sectarian and non-sectarian
institutions and to prevent the further
support of children in sectarian insti-
tutions except old commitments.
Should secular or religious institu-
tions wish to bring such children into
the state it may be done under the fol
lowing restrictions: They shall furnish
bond of 81 900 to $4,000 to be approx
ed by the county judge, which is to be
forfeited should the child at any time
during its life become a county or state
charge either as criminal, mental de-
fective or pauper.
The measure defines sectarian insti-
tuition as "one under the control or
management of some church. or whose
manager or superintendent is or has
been minister, preacher, priest, sister
or other individual who was or is of
ficiating in religious capacity"
A non-sectarian institution is defined
as zone not engaged in the instruction
or teaching of any religious idea or dog.
ma, either Catholic, Protestant or Jew.
ish. I"
This measure further provides that
after the children now committed tC
sectarian institutions shall have become
self-supporting, or have been transfer
red to other institutions, neither the
state or county shall make for them any
appropriation of public funds. Neither
shall any appropriation be made to any
seetarian institution for the mainten
ance of any child committed to it after
this act takes effect.
In order to care for the children. the
act authorizes the board of control tC
appoint a committee of five to advise
ways and means by which the state may
enlarge the existing state institutions
! for delinquent and defective children
and to make thorough investigation as
to the necessity, location, construction
and management of state institution
for dependent children and report to the
board before July l, 1918.
