It does not seem likely, under the present policy, that even if an ap- plicant were in receipt of a pension of $50 a month or more, and in ad- dition had some funds on hand, his application would be refused,” says the report, and goes on to tabulate pensions of inmates to show that al- though one receives $100 a month, two $90 a month, 18 $72, one $52 and |, 66 $50 monthly, while 56 receive from $50 to $40, these men are be- ing supported entirely by the state. “Some of the veterans, during the period of their stay at the home, are able to accumulate substantial sav- ings which in the event of their death pass to their heirs’ it was found. *By supporting them free of charge, the state is actually provid- ing a sum of money for their friends or relatives. “Fricends” Too Grasping “We have also the spectacle of the *friends’ who cannot await the nat- | wral course, but who ihveigle inmates from the home for a perlod just long enough to get their money.” 1t is recommended that the finan- cial status of applicants for admis- sion be investigated, and those ac- cepted be required to pay for thelr support, in whole or in part, accord- ing to thefr financial ability. The “ordinary recurring per cap- ita cost,”” on the basis of figures for the past two fiscal years, was found to be $1,032.35 for 1924-25 and $1,- 035.06 for 1925-26," more than double what it ought to be. Two similar institutions located in an- other state, and with a reputation for extravagance, show per capita costs of $530 and $531 respectively and aven they are subjected to criticism on the grounds that the per capita cost is too high. The food service at these institutions is $183 as against 2297 in the same years at Fitch's home for the soidiers.” In considering the question of gen- eral management, the report con- cludes that “it is a mistake to per- have any part in the management of a home that exists for the benefit of needy veterans x x x or to have the direct control of the adminis- tration of state aid and relief to war veterans. They would be in & much | ! stronger position to offer advice or eriticism were they in an entirely in- dependent relation with the state and those of their comrades who are entitled to the benefits of the home, or other relief.” 1 The present board of the home, consisting of the governor, adjutant general, surgeon general and repre- sentative each of the Civil, Spanish and World War veterans is criticised as removed from “effective contact with a central state department,” as | @ composed ‘of members not experi- | ¢ enced in institutional administration, and as not in a position to consider the best interests of the state and its people as a whole. i The state officlals who are ex- efficio members “seldom, if ever, take an active interest in the man- agement of the home, or any part in the deliberations of the bhoard.” The members of the board are described as a “class group, nominated by and regarding themselves as the repre- sentatives of thelr respective veteran organizations. This has. introduced organization politics into the general management of the home, and has resulted in cliques, rivalry, and petty | ! Jealousy." C The report recommends that the administrative functions of the board | t: be exercised by an organized division | t of soldiers’ aid in the department of state agencies, and that a board | freely appointed by the governor, be substituted for the present body. t Changes in methods of handling accounts, pensions, estate of de- ceased inmates and various special t al cation for admission to the diers’ home.
