toard of control has collected tor
the rapport of the non-Tipieni in

feereulosis hospitals, and! charge,
at the' state-home tor the feeble
mtndind, approximately -fSlMQS,
according to en' audit completed
, reeenUy by S. W. SUirrchlet ac
countant (or the state department
- The audit corered the period
Jane 6, 1931. to October 31 1933.
and dealt particularly 'with f. the
tystem adopted for the collection
support funds. Payment under
t& 1 Ml law ranged Jrom SlSJto
fZ9 A month for persons boused
In the two state insane hospitals
to $15 a week for patients la the
tuberculosis " hospitals. "-- Patients
without relatives or estates able
to assame the financial responsl-
Kitty continue to receive boosing
and - medical, facilities : without
, charge. : .C-';" ' ..;
- ?. Total charges "against the pa
tient during the -period corered
is' the report was S785,18.79,
with-a. balance now due the stale
f $175,484. Of the aggregate
mount of money received by the
atate-for ' the -support' of these
charges 8439.104.27 was paid by
th counties, : while -individuals
esntributed $147,849.79. Under a
action of the 1931 law which be
came Inoperative on March 10 of
.this year the counties .paid .the
stale for, the support of the non
violent Insane patients. As a result
e-ff the repeal of this provision the
state's revenues from housing In
sane patients will be reduced to
approximately $80,000 a year.
- . Total charges against . patients
at the western Oregon state hos
pital was $3(5,278.29. with cred
its for paroles of $7515.957 Cash
received from individuals totaled
$118,522.45 and $152,964 from
the counties. There remains un

. Patients at the western Oregon
state- tuberculosis hospital have
paid to the state $1941.38 while
$1251.35 has been received from
patients at the eastern Oregon
tuberculosis hospital. Remittances
from patients at the state home
for the feeble minded aggregated
$11,486.50. with approximately
$11,000 ; of the total amount
charged delinquent '
The audit criticised mildly the
collection system adopted by the
state board of control soon after
the-law became effective, but add
ed that a new system had been
Inaugurated which would correct
amy evils that have existed. Par
ticular mention waa made in the
sat&it of the Inability to locate cer
tain court orders dealing: with
csme of the patients. The Oregon
lass providing for payment to the
state of - support money for pa
tients at several of the institu
tions was copied from the Wash
Xagton act. Most of the criticism
gainst the law originated with
the-county courts which were corn
yelled to pay for the care of the
nan-violent Insane. This part of
the law was attacked at the X93S
legislative session and wes re-
wmiam Einsig. secretary'of the
Beard of control, declared that the
collection system under criticism
few the auditors, was established
by a former employe of the board,
and that he had nothing to do with
Its details. He said every effort
weald be made to collect delln
teat elaims against the patients
and counties, and that the total
receipt reported In the audit
would be Increased materially.
The law originally was recom
Kended by Governor Meier, who
contended ; that patients with
tends or estates should be com
pelled to contribute to the state
for their support " -.

CHE1E FUNDS
: RECEIVED BY FAIR
Conscience payments to the
Oregon state fair haveHever been
so prolific as this year. Fair Di
rector Max Gehlhar declared Mon
day as he detached a dollar bill
from a letter from Oklahoma.
Here's what the letter said:
"Several years ago I sold pa
pers at the fairgrounds. We had
newsboy ribbons then with which
to. get in free. I let another hoy
use my ribbon and sell papers a
short time in order that he could
get in free. ... I may have help
ed another boy get in too. Please
forgive me. . . Enclosed find one
dollar for these admissions'.
This is the fourth similar let
ter received by Gehlhar in the last
few weeks. One contained more
than $2 for light globes stolen and
others were for admission gained
by sneaking under fences in 1928.
Those sneak holes have long since
been fixed, Gehlhar adds.
