Administrative History
The 1896 Insanity Law (Chapter 545) and State Charities Law (Chapter 546), as amended in 1902 (Chapter 26), 1903 (Chapter 473), 1905 (Chapter 490), 1906 (Chapter 685), and 1907 (Chapter 283), required boards of managers of state institutions under the jurisdiction of either the State Commission in Lunacy or the State Board of Charities to visit, inspect, and make written reports concerning their institutions at least once a month. Managers of institutions under the Commission in Lunacy were to send copies of these reports and copies of minutes of their monthly meetings to the governor as well as to the commission. State Board of Charities institution managers were to send copies of their reports and minutes to the governor and the Fiscal Supervisor of State Charities as well as to the State Board of Charities.
