State Will Lose Nearly 100000 by Omission in Youth Service Law

Wisconsin faces an annual shortfall of 75 000 to 100 000 due to an omission in the 1947 youth service act. Counties may also lose a similar amount. The pre 1947 law required counties to pay five dollars weekly for each delinquent child sent to institutions at Waukesha and Oregon. Since August last year courts place only with the state welfare department, which handles placements, but reimbursement clauses were not updated. Attorney General Grover Broadfoot says the state can collect only for children committed before August 23 1947. Blaine Linke notes the welfare department had been receiving about 115 000 annually under the former law.
