| MR. MULLOY EXPLAINS

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.
