MULLOY EXPLAINS | 7 Mr. Editor: {I know that the citizens of Chesterfield County after reading so much concerning the sanitary conditions ol' tlie County Home, would like to know the true condition of same. Mr. R. W. Thompson was the man selected by the Hoard of County Commissioners to care for the inmates for the year l'J20. Everything was kept in^ fairly good condition until Mr. Thompson's death, which occurred I think in June. Mrs. Thompson stated to me that her physical condition would not permit her to continue caring for the inmates and if we could should get some one else. I;tried to get some one else, but f:>iled, as at this tune of the year everybody had their crops planted and did n^t care to leave them. I went back to Mrs. Thompson and stated the circumstances and asked her if she wiuM stay on and tare for the inmates the best she could. Mrs. Thompson stated that if she could get her brother to come and take charge of the crop, that she would stay and do the best possible until we could get some one else. jMrs. Thompson kept things in fairIjP good shape considering circumstances. At the time the Grand Jury n^de their report I guess they found tilings in pretty bad shape as Mrs. Tpompson had been confined to her b^d for about ten days and a young infant to look after, and no one to look after her, but her ten year old daughter. What conditions would you expect to find under these circumstances? The G rand Jury made their report oh the 27th of September. 1 visited the County Home on September 28th. I could not find conditions to exist ott that date as the Grand Jury reported on the 27th with the exception of the bedding, which was in bad shape. I came back and placed an order for mattresses and quilts to be aeht over and 1 asked several citizens of Chesterfield County to visit the Cqunty Home before these new things ware placed there and also asked Gov. Cooper to send me a representative frhm the State Board of Welfare to loik into conditions before new stufi was placed there, but it seems no one viated but Mr. Sellers and he was not awkre of the fact that the Grand Jury had made a report and also that this qfR&.jaew bedding on the beds. 'The County Home has been reported to me several times this year to be in bad shape and each time 1 have tried to improve conditions. I am not trying to discredit the Grand Jury's report at all. 1 have no doubt that conditions existed on the 27th as they stated, but on the 2Kth things had been rectified with the exception of the bedding and 1 wish to state that the County Hoard of Commissioners had nothing whatever to do with it. Let me in conclusion suggest to the i;ood people of Chesterfield and surrounding community that they make Lhe County Home a subject of Charity and not a subject of criticism as it has been heretofore. If I am not mistaken, Rev. Chew ning is the only Minister of the Cospel that has visited the County Home this year. Respectfully, T. E. Mulloy, County Com. RED CROSS INSTRUCTOR A DDIt'OiL I M /s/^?
