Book Description

Excerpt from Thirteenth Biennial Report of the Board of State Commissioners of Public Charities of the State of Illinois: Presented to the Governor, October 1, 1894 Since the last biennial report of this Board the number of institutions subject to its supervisory care has been increased by one. The Thirty-eighth General Assembly made an appropriation of $75,000 for the erection of a Home for Juvenile Female Offenders, which is now temporarily located at Chicago; the proprosed location being at Geneva, in Kane county. The number of institutions included in the present report, therefore, is twelve; namely: (1) The Northern Hospital for the Insane, at Elgin; (2) the Eastern Hospital for the Insane, at Kankakee; (3) the Central Hospital for the Insane, at Jacksonville; (4) the Southern Hospital for the Insane, at Anna; (5) the Asylum for Insane Criminals, at Chester; (6) the Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, at Jacksonville; (7) the Institution for the Education of the Blind, at Jacksonville; (8) the Asylum for Feeble-Minded Children, at Lincoln; (9) The Soldiers and Sailors' Home, at Quincy; (10) the Soldiers' Orphans' Home at Normal; (11) the Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, at Chicago; (12) the Home for Juvenile Female Offenders, temporarily located at Chicago. Owing to the fact that the State Home for Juvenile Female Offenders has been in operation for only one quarter, during the period covered by this report, it will be impracticable to include it with the reports of the institutions for the two years, and we therefore give it in a separate statement. The statement which follows shows the amount of money to be accounted for by the eleven institutions, omitting the Home for Juvenile Female Offenders, and the disposition made of the same. Dr. On the first of July, 1892, there were in the hands of the several treasurers of the eleven itstitutions under our care, cash balances amounting in the aggregate to $106,492.28. In addition to these cash balances, the institutions had to their credit in the State treasury, undrawn, unexpended balances of appropriations made in 1891, to the amount of $1,379,015.39.
