1PAUPERv PATIENTS DON'T
 NEED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

That the state has lost thousands of dollars every year because of per state expense while relatives have been well able to care for them, has; been brought out through an investf- Eatton made by the department Of state agencies and institutions In many cases, it has been found that while the state has been paying ont anywhere from $10 to $l4 week for the care Of a patient, the patient has had relatives who owned real estate. and in many cases. financially inde- pendent With the beginning of the depart ment of state agencies and instiiH- tions. it was learned that there were many such persons. and in o'ie par lcular case, q woman was being sup ported by the state in tuberculosis institution after having received an SIs.eo0 legacy from her mothers es- tate- In spite of this the patients the keep of the tuberculosis person while the state paid the rest. Tn the meantime the sis.soo was drawing ill., terest.
 Colonel Robert Q. Eaton. agent of the department. said that the state will undoubtedly savo several thous- ands oe dultars by reason of the in- vestisatiori, and that. at one institu- tion alone. ses.00o year vii, be saved, it being discovered ar this
 
 being supported by the state while
 perfectly able to pay for themselves.
 The investigation showed. too. thai there are less paupers in the state
 than formerly. but the exact figures
 have not been compiled. One reason yadyanced IS that women who preti-
 ously were idle got work during the
 rush of war orders. getting high
 wages in the factories. and after saw
 ing up some money, took their aged
 relatives from institutions.
 On the other hand, there were per
 sons with thousands of dollars in the
 bank who have contributed but g
 week for the support of their reia-
 tiFes. preferring to have the state
 stand tho expense of their hoard and
 lodging. Many of these ca<es have
 been discovered, and in soD1~ o' them
 1t has been learnel thai the r~fatives
 with money had no thought r~ paying
 more than 32 a week. Sorne O. then,
 thought that as long as they paid
 their taxes regularly. il war enough
 money for the state to receiVe.
