Laws for paupers. Poor laws tour postponed till September
A Pennsylvania State Poor Law Commission meeting in this city was postponed to September. The commission, appointed by Governor Beaver in 1889, will study general poor law reform with aims to unify treatment across counties. They report wide abuse in townships where paupers are boarded to the lowest bidder, sometimes for as little as $1 weekly for children, while overseers hinder new residents and laws in several counties show stark variations. The panel seeks a broad act to replace local boards with county almshouses and possibly transport of alien paupers out of state.
