THE ' OREGON ' SUNDAY-JOURNAL. PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING,' AUGUST 15, f 1909. SUPERINTENDENT DIED OF BROKEN HEART GIVES IG Feels. Satisfied That. Deten tion Home Is Doing . ' Good. ; . That the grand Jury made a. mistake in censuring the Frazer Detention, home at Fifty-second and Hassalo streets. Is the contention of Superintendent 1 H. Baker. The grand Jury to their report stated than the expenses' of the home were too great and that they did not approve of the way In which it was conducted. ' Mr. Baker mildly tobjecta to this and offers to The Journal a full account of his expenditures, and, his work. , - ;.;-:;-:. : Instead of the expense of the home being 1400 or 500 a month. Superin tendent Baker state that during the year beginning July .1, and end ing July 1,' 1909, the total expense of the home were $3734.80, an average of . something less than IS20 a month. In these expenses are included the pur chase .of some things which still are on hafld and. profitable, such as a cow, plow, etc. He further affirms that the number of boys, on an average, staying at the home, under commitment from .the Juvenile court has been It, not 14 or it as the grand- Jury' reported, and that In addition to these, over 100 boys have been1 kept at the home as "transients"-, for' periods varying from three days to six. weeksv. . i "My accounts are 'up to date slnoe I took charge, on July 1, 190," said Superintendent Baker yesterday. "Be fore that time I know nothing of the expenses. But I am satisfied that this I am v we him nald during the rear end ed July 1: 172 for wood, $489 for coal school, or home, .is doln good work and x am willing to leave it wun ine . - - - we 'J v-jX ' fel -V-C.'-: V, '- tax and $140 for light electric light.' And yet our total expense has been -only $3734.80 for the entire year. We have kept the actual table expense down to. the maximum of $6.84 per capita per month, and some months It irai as low as $4.40, and at all times the lads have een well fed. Mrs. Baker, who is .the natron, sees to It that we get the best neat and all the boys - have food In plenty. .'-.-..'." "The light bill is exorbitant I un derstand that the light oorrsany makes a' minimum charge of $20 a. month for the service of all Institutions .such as this, but we have never used one half that sum In actual light. However, that lies with the county court 'The entire yearly charge for sal--arles and help Is $1800, and when one considers that we sometime have as high as 33 boys, who would otherwise go to Jail, the work Is worth while, we have taken charge of, returned to their homes, , and generally looked after over 100 boys outside those turned over to us by the Juvenile court We have had boys from states as far distant as Wisconsin and we could tell many tales of tragedies averted.'' The home, which la new, now con tains nominally 15 boys, but of these but eight are really resident Five are at .work during the vacation, and .the other two are on holiday for good be havior. Really vicious boys are not kept there and those who reform and show Improvement are sent back to their homes, so saving the county expense. While the reporter was going out to J the Fraser home, he met two small; boys, one a bit larger than' the other. The larger one had In tow the littler one, who waa a new Inmate. The new comer . carried his little luggage In , a paper-parcel and seemed glad to get somewhere where he would know . a home. He said the only thing the' mat- . . .
