NO WORK, NO EM FARM

Board Would Penalize the Laggards —Wants Practice of Articles Passed Into Jail Stopped.

Lazy bones on the county poor farm will have to work or they will find* their rations cut down. This is the recommendation of the county board of charities made in a quarterly report issued Friday.

The board found all of, the county institutions in good condition. One thing needed at the county jail is screening put, over the Windows, the board reporting that articles are being passed into the inmates of the jail by persons on 'the outside.

The members of the board are Mrs. Eva Newton, Mrs. Mary R. Orth, Frank Carmack, A". R. Charman and E. L. Larking. The hospitals were reported in excellent condition, but crowded beyond capacity. Regarding the other institutions, the board's report was as follows: Vlgro County Home for Dependent

Children.

The number of children in the home -:at time of visit, one hundred and eighteen (118). These were classified as follows: Sixty (60) white boys, seven (7) colored boys, forty-nine (49) white girls and two (2) colored girls.

The total per capita cost for past month—29 cents. The per capita cost less salaries— 17 cents.

There were no cases of illness and the health of the children is excellent which is indicative of excellent care and attention.

The conditions everywhere were excellent. The buildings were clean and well, cared for and the premises generally were neat and in good order.

Since the building of the new school building the crowded conditions have been greatly relieved.

While Supt. Lawrence is away on a much needed vacation the institution ts well cared for by Capt. Stahl. The institution is in splendid condition, the children are well cared for and Vigo county may well be proud of it.

County Poor Asylum.

The board visited the poor asylum July 6th. At this time there were one hundred and seventeen (117) inmates, ninety (90) of whom were men and twenty-seven (27) were women. There were some of all classes in the institution several were permanently sick or crippled but the health of the inmates in general is good. The board was impressed with the fact that there a.re a number of men who are ablebodied and able to work and support themselves.

The building is fairly well furnished with good furniture and the inmates have sufilcier.t clothing which is in feood condition. They also have iron beds furnished with straw mattresses r.nd ample covering all of which was in good condition.

The building was quite cl^an throughout and shows excellent care by those in charge. It is well lighted

with electricity which has greatly reduced the danger from fire. The building itself is old but is in fairly good repair. The farm buildings are old and some of them well worn out but in the main they are in fairly good repair. Provision has been made for improving the fences which is badly needed. The premises are well kept and look neat and in good order.

The board observed the meal served on the day of our visit and found good food well prepared and served in a well orderly manner. They are fed meat once a day and vegetables in season, also wheat and corn bread is used and mush is served frequently.

As noted above there are a number of able-bodied men who won't work. The board believes that those who can and won't work should have their privileges and perhaps rations restricted somewhat.

We should recommend that some more adequate flre protection be provided very soon.

We would reiterate our recommendation that a new building should be provided either on the prdlsent cite or another place should be purchased and a new building built. The building is iradequate, having a normal capacity of one hundred (100) and has now- in the middle of the summer, one hundred and seventeen (117) and last winter had as high as. one hundred and fortyeight (148). The present building is old and well worn out. It is a fire-trap without adequate means of flre protection. The place is a disgrace to Vigo county.

We wish to commend in the highest termsc the superintendent, Mr. Christy, and the matron, Mrs. Christy, for the excellent care and management, notwithstanding the many disadvantages due to the Inadequacy of the plant.

The Home (or the Friendless. The committee found the home for the friendless, on the date of visit, in a state of renovation. A great deal had already been done tn improvement of the building, both as to appearance and utility. The building has been painted, walls have been re-decorated ana nViichneed new floors hav# been laid. More painting and general cleaning has been planned for.

As usual, the state of the home, so far as is dependent upon the management of the matron, was in excellent condltlpn.

The following is the report of the institution for the quarter prior to the visit of inspection: Number of men cared for, 8R: number of women cared for, 25 number of girls cared for, 23 number of boys cared for, 32 local, 5T transient, 100 number of meals served, 1,088 number of lodgings, 374.

Florence Crlttenton Hone. There are at present sheltered in the Florence Critteton home, four (.-4) girls ana three (3) babies.

Number of girls cared for during quarter, 9 number of babies cared for during quarter, 6 meals served, 1,837 number of religious services other than regular daily service, 5 number of requests for prayer, 1.

The Institution was found to be in excellent condition. It was clean, neat and home-like. The Inmates were busy about domestic duties.

The committee deplores the fact that the superintendent, Mrs. Mary Hamlll, has submitted her resignation, and feel that it will be difficult to secure a successor who will measure up to her standard of capability and management.
