Welfare department becomes permanent once established
Attorney General Thomas J. Herbert ruled that after a county department of welfare is properly set up by a board of county commissioners the commissioners cannot abolish it. Duties of the soldier's relief commission cannot transfer to the county welfare department. The county home cannot fall under the department without the home superintendent’s consent. Trustees may hand over operation of a county children’s home to the department but may rescind the agreement.
