HOMES FOR FRIENDLESS WOMEN.
Mr. Baxter, from the Committee on Reformatory Institutions, returned the bill [S. 94] concerning the application of certain fines, forfeitures and penalties collected in the enforcement of city ordinances, etc., recommending its passage, and it was ordered to the third reading. He said that in all incorporated cities where there is an established Home for Friendless Women, this bill is for the purpose of appropriating those certain fines and forfeitures for the benefit of those institutions that have no public support. It was passed the Senate without a dissenting voice; and on his motion, (the constitutional restrictions being suspended for the purpose), the bill was advanced and finally passed the House of Representatives - yeas 66, nay 9.
