Administrative History

The investigation grew out of an application to the Board on April 16, 1913 for its approval of a proposed amended certificate of incorporation extending the corporate purposes of the Society.

The Board's approval was required by law if the certificate specified care of children or certain other purposes. A public hearing held by the Board on November 7, 1913 to determine the merits of the application was inconclusive, and the Board appointed a special committee to further investigate the Society in accordance with provisions of the State Charities Law.
