To establish a Board of State Charities, and defining its duties.

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That the governor shall appoint five persons, who shall constitute a board of state charities, to serve without compensation. Two of the persons so appointed shall hold their office for one year, two for two years, and one for three years, unless sooner removed. All appointments, at the expiration of said terms, shall be for three years. The governor shall be ex-officio a member of said board, and the president thereof. Appointments to fill vacancies caused by death, resignation, or removal before the expiration of such terms may be made for the residue of terms in the same manner as original appointments.

SEC. 2. That the board of state charities shall be provided with a suitable room in the state house. Regular meetings of the board shall be held quarterly, or oftener if required. They may make such rules and orders for the regulation of their own proceedings as they may deem necessary. They shall investigate the whole system of public charities and correctional institutions of the state, examine into the condition and management thereof, especially of prisons, jails, infirmaries, public hospitals and asylums, and shall recommend such changes and additional provisions as they may deem necessary for their economical and efficient administration. They shall constitute an advisory board, to whom all plans of public buildings may be referred for suggestion or approval. SEC. 3. That the said board may appoint a secretary, who shall be paid for his services, in addition to his traveling expenses, an annual salary of [not to exceed] twelve hundred dollars, as may be agreed upon by the board. All accounts and expenditures shall be certified as may be provided by the board, and shall be paid by the treasurer

upon an order from the auditor of state.

SEC. 4. The board of state charities shall annually prepare and print, for the use of the legislature, a full and complete report of all their doings during the year preceding, stating fully and in detail all expenses incurred, all officers and agents employed, with a report of the secretary, embracing all the respective proceedings and expenses during the year, and showing the actual condition of all the state institutions under their control, with such suggestions as they may deem necessary and pertinent.

SEC. 5. This act shall take effect upon its passage.

Passed April 3, 1876.
