Charities and Corrections

A circular has been issued by the
State Board of Charities and Correc-
tons calling the attention of boards
of overseers of the poor tor the fact
that in very many instances persons
who have lived less than five years in
the State, or who are aliens. and
have become public charges, can be
returned to the State from which they
came or be deported
1t Is therefore suggested that all
such cases be Immediately reported
with a brief statement of the facts,
either to the messenger to the Gov
ernor and Council or the secretary of
the Board OF Charities and Correc-
tions, without waiting until claims
for reimbursement are ready to
present. so that proceedings looking
to their return to their native state
or country may be at once begun.
Some misapprehension seems to
exist in the minds OF municipal
boards and the general public with
reference to appropriations made by
the I.egislat ure for the care Of chill
dren by incorporated children's homes
and home finding societies. These
are not appropriations emitting the
institutions and societies to certain
lump sums. regardless of the service
rendered. but are maximum amounts
against which the institution or So
ciety may draw. specified rate per
child. for the care Of children other
wise subject to the provisions Of the
Children's Guardian law, so called.
Cities and towns where the de-
pendent children cared for have set
tlemnnt are liable to the State for
one-h half the cost Of their care in the
same manner as though the children
were committed by the courts to the
custody Of the State Board or the IN
stitution as neglected or orphaned
