POOR DISTRICT
NOT AFFECTED
MR. FULLER SAYS IT WON'T
COME UNDER KIPFER BILL.
The New Chatter Provides for the
Creation of a Department of Char
ities, but Mr. Fuller Says That It
Won't Apply to Scranton District
Because the Latter Was Chartered
Before Scranton Was Yet a City
and Because It Includes the Bo
lough of Dunmoie.
It Is Veiy pieibable that there will bo
no change III the management of the
uffaliH of the Scranton poor dish let
when the city government of Scranton
Is reorganized under tho provisions ot
the ilppcr bill. At least that Is the
opinion of the meinbeis ot the poor
boaid nnd they're about the only pet
sons in tltH city who have given tho
matter any consideration whatever.
The ripper bill piovldes for the cre
ation of n department of public chari
ties and correction, the same to be In
chaige anil under the direct stipei vision
of a director who Is to bo appointed
by the leconlor. The exact reading of
Up' III st section of the arlleli cre
ating this ilepaitmeul lit as follows:
"The ilepaitrncul of chailtles and i-or-iretlon
shall be under the charge of one
person, who shall be the head tbeteof.
To this dopaitment shall be rnnllded
the construction, contiol and icpalr.
care, uuiuagomcul, administration and
supervision of the chailtles, alius,
hoiif, hospitals, houses of coriecllon
and giounds and all other similar In
stitutions the control or government
of which Is intrusted to the elty."
Director Kiedeilek Fuller, who is
about at well ersed In the law reg.ud
ing poor affairs as any man In the city,
stated to n Tribune man yesieiday ar
te tnonu that the last few winds of this
section relieved all doubt as to whether
pom alialis of the Scranton dlstilet
would pass under the control of sueh
a department as above mentioned.
"The contiol of the poor affairs of
the Scranton district." said he. "have
never been intrusted to the city of
Scranton. in Pittsburg and Allegheny
the poor afl'ahs at the present lime
may bo under the control of the mun
icipalities and the ilpper bill may apply
to them but it certainly will not apply
lo the Seinnlon poor dlstilel
"The Sdr.ltitnu poor district seemed
a eh.iller under a specliel net in ISO
while the rlty was jet a borough. It
was some yeais after when Scranton
became n city. The poor dlstilet has
always levied nnd collected Its own
taxes and transacted its business en
llielj tip.ul ft mil the city's.
"Theie Is still another coii'Ideralion.
The Scranton poor dlstilet comprises
not onlv the city of Scinntnn. but also
the entire borough of Dunmoie. It Is
manifestly plain that the poor affairs
n" Dunmoie could not be placed under
the contiol of the i Ity. In my opinion
theie is no possibility of this dlstilet
c omlng under the piovMous of lite rln
pci bill unless specl.il legislation Is
pasted and I don't think thete's any
