MOTHERS PENSIONS.
Funds In Hand Not Sufficient to Meet
the Needs

Funds In Hand Not Sufficient 70 Nee
the Needs.
Special Correspondence to Every EVENING
Dover, Jan. l6.--The monthly meeting
of the Mothers Pension Commission wnf
held yesterday in Dover. Two new pen
slons were granted 10 needy mothers In
Kent county One application from Sus-
sex WAS held over for further investigation.
Owing TO the New Castle county funds
being all IN use, no new pensions were
granted in that county, where a waiting
list of IS mothers exists
The purpose of the Mothers Pension
law is To assist needy mothers Of children
under IA with aid in their own homes, in
cases where the father has died or is per-
manently incapaoitated, or has deserted.
The commission is asking the present
Legislature for additional to meet
the waiting list In New Castle county, and
slight increase for Sussex The amount
OF aid that can be granted is now limited
TO so per month for one child, and SIS per
month Tor any additional child under a.
In many cases these amounts are found
insufficient and the mother is either
forced nto industry, TO the neglect of
home and children, or II In delicate health
she s. liable to haveto put tho children in
the care OF strangers. The Legislature is
to be asked that in cases that require
more aid one child may receive sl2 per
month, and any additional child or chill
dren So each. This would put Delaware
more n line with what other States are
doing for their fstherless children Forty
States now have mothers pension laws,
with amounts varying from fat rate of
SS per month per child TO the rate of
S25 per month for the first child, and sI5
Tor the second. Only one other State
gives as little as Delaware per capita.
tits further desired To extend the scope
of the law so that the wife of a prisoner
may under some circumstances receive
this aid, when she is OF good character
and the children are left in want
10 cover these increased needs il il
estimated that New Castle county will
need TO use SO cooper year, Kent $500
and Sussex 500. coo. The commissioner Is
now aiding 1877 families, with total Of
49, children.
