Consolidation of Poor Farms Considered in State
An effort to merge all county poor farms into a single state institution is under way. About 2,000 inmates in county homes could transfer to the Glenwood feeble minded home, promising savings and better accommodations. Heating 99 buildings and related costs are cited as a potential cut, with hundreds of thousands of dollars saved. Under current law, county homes are supervised by the state board of control.
