ANNUAL REPORT
OF SITKA HOME
SHOWSECONOMY
Cut in Cost of Operation and
Maintenance of Pioneers’
Home Is Claimed.
Seventy-tour residents were In the
Pioneers’ Homo at SitVi at the end
of tihe current biennium. 24 were dia
iharged during the years 1!)21 and
1922, three had been adjudged insane
ml transferred to Morningside, and
40 died from the Home during the
same period, according to the biennial
report of Superintendent Theo. Ket
tle “ >n, just transmitted to the Legis
lature. Expenditures Incurred in
operating anti maintaining the in
stitution, exclusive of 'the cost of in
stalling a new heating system, ag
gregated $91,510.42. $48,541.55 In
1921 and $42,968.87 for the calendar
year 1922.
Mr. KettleSon indicates that con
siderable economy was eSfected un
der the new management of the
Home tiy careful scrutiny of all ex
penditures and by the adoption of a
policy cl* requiring residents to per
i’mra a material 'proportion of the
I'bar done on the buildings ar.d
(pounds.
Gives List of Improvements
Ir, I'.iLs connection the re,port said:
‘‘Owing to the fact that an unpro
portional amount of the 1921-1923 ap
propriation was used iv> in the first
nine months 'c'( thr3 biennium—as .s
shown by this report—the result . \
that the 'balance df the ibienniutn had
to be cut to tlie strictest economy.
This retarded the improvements
which could have been accomplished
with a comparatively small cobt had
there 'been money available to pur
chase materials, such as cennn' an!
lumber A good pari of the la for
could have been done by resident; .•?
the Home, who are always willing to
do a reasonable amount of work
when it is for the purpose of improv
ing the Home. I wish to call atten
tion to the improvements listed be
low. The work on thsise Improve
ments was done by residents of the
Home:
■'Compi’.e’ticn of 'painting of the in
terior fir the hospital.
“Construction cf a partition in the
hallway on the upper floor of the
hospital.
“Completion of the concrete work
In the main building, viz: Construc
tion of floors, walls, etc.
“Excavating for a basement .under
the superintendents’ restdenefc and
construction of concrete floors^ and
walls in same, also drainage and re
pairs to Home.
“Digging ditches far construction
of a syphon under the twain building.
“Excavating under the hospital for
a dry room for the laundry.
“Lathing the roof and construction
of concrete floors.
. ‘'Constructing a picket fence around
the garden iplot.
“Patching 'floors, furniture, etc.
‘'Construction of a double bathroom
and toilets with concrete floor In
the main building”
It is estimated that the Territory
was saved approximately $1,000 in
this manner and it is recommended
that an allowance ibe made so that
the podlcy may bp continued. “It
is planned during the coming year,”
ft was stated, “to make such im
provement's as can be made by resi
dents or the Home. However, va
rious other improvements will have
to be made which the residents will
be unable to make. Owing to the
age and worn-out condition of the
main building, it is questionable
whether or not a great amount of
money should he spent for the im
provement of the bunding.”
Other Recommendations
The hospital was completed and
partially 'furnished. Heavy linoleum
for the floors is recommended as
an economy. The purchase of a
sterilizer and two dozen steel bed
side tables requested.
A ne»r heating plant was installed
at a cost In excess of $5,000 which,

■ It is said, has Tiroved satisfactory,
rewriting in saving: in furl bills. Mr.
Ket'tleson recommends, however,
that n fuctl oil hearing system be in
as a mean- of effecting ever
greater economies.
The main building, said the report,
needs new ifloors throughout; the
interior needs painting; new shingling
will soon be necessary, and all
buildings comprising the institution
Should be painted not later than
1924. It is recommended that an
appropriation 'be made to cover all
of this work. A new washing ma
chine Is requested for the laundry.
Negotiations are pending for addi
tional! land for the burying plot wliioh
will 'have 'bo be stripped of moss and
drained and $l,r>00 is asked for that
purpose. Repairs to the old quarters
for the nursing staff are also recom
mended.

to the duties of tlio Board of Chil
dren's Guardians; two by Mr. Shep
ard. one appropriating money for the
entertainment of President Harding

amending the present pension law.
'Commenting on his measure, Mr.

necessary first to arrest any child
entitled to receive aid before it could
come under tho care of tho Board of
Children's Guardians. The bill intro
duced is designed 10 correct this.
New Pension Act
The new pension tact introduced
by .Mr. Shepard, according to a state
ment made by him, is intended to
increase the present maximum allow
ance for aged ‘pioneers, males from
>12.50 to $30. and to increase the
aillnwaneo for women from a maxi
mum of $25 to $30. Tho present'
system of administering the pension
aidt is not changed under the provi
sions off Mr Shepard's bill, Which the
author said has tho support of all
he Iglr'M off the Pioneers of Al
aska. H is the second of such
me’-1 urns to be introduced in the
Legislature, the first being presented
in the Senate early this week by Sen
ator Aldirich. The latter ibill seeks
the abolition of the present system
of administration df the 'pension sys
tem and turning it over to a Terri
tor.ll Board off Control which would
also have charge df the administra
tion of tiie Pioneers’ Home. It also
seeks to milise tho maxllninim allow
ance for men to $25. leaving the $25
maximum tor women unchanged.
