ORPHANS HOME
PLAN OUTLINED
70 Fix Up Building at Fords -
City Has 10 to 20 Children
to Care for at the Institution

II the Board of Aldermen go
through with their present plans 10
alter az make extensions to the
building at Fords purchased last IAN
for use as an orphans home, IL s
probable that 1t will be the first NUM-
cipal institution of its kind In New
Jersey. Tho aldermen seem 10 De
all in favor of the proposition. claim
ing that It will not only prove a saw
ing to the city but also that from
r. humanitarian standpoint the chill
dren will be given better treatment,
be in a large healthy place n near
their relatives so that they might see
visitors more frequently than Is pos
sible at present with them distributed
in several o-Yhanages through the
state.
The aldermen have discussed the
possibility of using the building Just
as it stands without making any costly
alterations or improvements but an
inspection of the premises has SHOWN
this TO be impossible owing to the
lack of the proper sanitary facilities.
At present the house Is not connected
to any sewer system. there is no
water and the bathroom, showers
and toilets are missing.
The plans for extensions to the
building, now being prepared by ar

made, together with the installation
of modern plumbing work n the
tearing down OF several walls in order
that a dining hall. assembly room and
dormitory of considerable size might
be had. The assembly hall will be
used by the children for their play
in stormy and cold weather when IT
Is impossible for them to go out OF
doors.
At present there are eighteen or
twenty orphans being cared for In
state institutions, the cost of support
ing and clothing them being born
by the city. The fact Is pointed out
hat no estimate of the sum paid for
the support of these children can be
learned as demands for money for
clothes and their maintenance Is con-
stantly being made upon the city n
that the rates are increasing con-
ftantly. Despite the fact that the al
teratlons to the building will cost $751;
900 the aldermen still seem TO be OF
the opinion hat they will be saving
the city money as well as giving the
children. the benefit of a better home.
With the city owning and main
tanning it's own orphans home the
money now spent for their clothing.
which is aid to amoun to consider
able, will be saved as the supplying
of these necessities will be part of the
work of a ladies' auxiliary to the
home which win be organized by
tho women OF the city. this subject
already having zen discussed.
1t is the belief of the aldermen
that In taking this step the good
which the children will derive from 1t
will justify the expense the work will
entail. At present. owing to the dis
tance of the children from this city,
they seldom SEQ relatives or friends
and consequently are not as happy
or contented as they would be In the
municipal o~rphanage at Fords which
is only a few minutes riding from his
city. 1t is proposed to have the man.

efficiency Of the teachers and IL they
would not hesitate to remove that
person. Mr.. Coan continued along
the lines expressed by President

mors at sea Mr.. Coan offered n mo-
ton that Mr.. Barr be reemployed for
the coming year at the salary speci-
fed in the budget. This was carried.

SIX BILLION IN INSURANCE
ADDED To BONUS BILL

~ Inc ASSocfufed Press
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Re
publican members of the House ways
and means committee have virtually
decided TO include IN their legislation
for n soldiers bonus q plan of paid
up insurance, its value to increase an
nually by compounded interest, on
which loans could be obtained from
any post Office.
II this is added the ex-service men
might elect any one OF V plans In
the Republican programme: A cash
bonus of s1.25 a day for each day of
service. aid in buying farm land. to be
reclaimed by the government; aid in
buying city homes; aid In their educa-
tion or the insurance.
To p~opularize the last four plans,
the Republicans propose to allow
S1.1b a day for each day of service. in
stead of the S1.25 cash bonus as the
basis for computing farm n home
aid, loans N the mou OF 1nan-
cial aid each man might receive in the
form of educational training.
The average period of service for
world war veterans vas 400 days, they
said, explaining that under the in
surance plan the average veteran
could receive a paid-up insurance
policy of s1,S57.
The loan value OF the insurance
called adjusted service certificates"
would not accrue until the end of
It's third year. in force, and at that
time an ex-service man, with a rec
ord OF 400 days service. would be
entitled to a LOAF of 1851.
The veteran of 100 days would be
entitled to paid-up, twenty-year ell
dowment insurance of sf64, with Q
cash surrender or LOAF value of Sl33

TO of 1928, with "A lean
value of s275; the 300-day veteran to
insurance of 1892, with a Loan
value of S413. and the 500-day Veter-
an to insurance of s2,321, with a loan
value of $3.50.
IL adopted by the veterans this
plan would cost the government
more than the cash bonus of s1.25 n
day, committeeman said. Estimating
that 3,59O,0O0 ex-service men will be
affected by the bill, committeeman
declared that the ultimate cost Of
the insurance plan, IL adopted by all.
would be about $4,000. 0 $1,000. The
cash bonus, it was estimated, would
cost 81 1907. 00O.0 900 If accepted by all.
