Kendall to Sign Sill Giving Fund to Child Welfare
Des Moines dispatch reports Gov. Kendall will sign the bill routing 2500 dollars to the Iowa Child Welfare Commission. The senate trimmed the request from 5000, despite a majority committee report opposing the appropriation. The panel lists Weaver as chairman and 11 members from Des Moines, Perry, Webster City, Dayton, Fort Dodge, Cedar Falls, and Grinnell. The commission targets delinquent, dependent, neglected, feeble minded, and illegitimate children and will report in 1925. The funding is separate from the Town University research station and not a repeat appropriation.
