Administrative History
Chapter 220 of the Laws of 1862 authorized the treasurer of the New York State Asylum for Idiots to receive disbursements for necessary clothing expenses. Chapter 546 of the Laws of 1896 (Article IV, Section 70) authorized county supervisors to raise thirty dollars per state pupil, annually, to provide "suitable" clothing. That amount was paid to the treasurer of the institution on or before April 1 of each year. Also, upon admittance of a student, the school superintendent could make an agreement with any able parent or guardian of a child for the support, maintenance, and clothing of that child.
