Bill to rename Charities Dept to Public Welfare gains approval
The bill, raised by Senator Howar S. Challenger, would rename the department to the Department of Public Welfare and extend the term of Superintendent Angus Thorne. Senator William A. Redden opposed, saying the Common Council should set terms and questioning the name change. The aim is to remove politics from the superintendent’s job and drop the stigmatizing charity label to encourage aid seekers.
