Abolishment Of County Home
Studied By Board Commission
Many New Applications Now
Filed for Old Age
Assistance
Official proposition was made before
the board of county commissioners by
representatives of Haywood and Hen
derson counties whereby the county
may be able to entirely dispose of the
county home plant at Selica, and save
considerable cash outlay each year.
The commissioners have taken the
matter under advisement and are mak
nlg a study of the proposition. No
decision was made at the meeting Mon
day.
Under the plan submitted, people in
the county home here could be cared
for In either the Henderson or Hay
wood institution at a little more than
half the cost now entailed and at the
same time give the Inmates as good or
possibly better care than is possible at
a smaller unit such as is now being
operated in Transylvania.
It was polnted^out that the average
number of persons cared for In the
Transylvania county home Is 10, and
that it costs nearly $250 per year per
Inmate to give care to each.
Most of these now in the county
home here are eligible for old age as
sistance under the state and federal
regulations, and while the cost would
be nearly one-half as high to make al
location of funds to each of the old
people as it Is to keep them In the
home, only one-fourth of this cost
would be chargeable to the county, as
the state and federal governments pay
three-fourths of the monthly Instal
ments sent as aid to aged people.
Three patients at the home would
necessarily have to be .taken care of in
an institution, but under the propo
sition made, these could be cared for
at the Henderson county home at a
minimum cost of $12 per month, which
is half of the cost per person at the
small unit operated here. It was point
ed out that Henderson and Haywood
each have a large number of patients
to care for at their homes, and that
in caring for larger numbers the cost
of operation is naturally smaller per
person.
Another factor to he considered is
that wherein approximate cost per
person to Transylvania county Is $250
per year, this same amount put Into
the co-operative old age assistance fund
would provide aid to at least eight per
sons at $10 per month at no Increased
cost to the county. Thus for the cost
of caring for ten people In the coun
ty home,. $10 per month could be secur
ed through the old age assistance plan
for 80 people at no increased cost to
the county.
The commissioners did not pass on
the matter at their meeting Monday,
but are studying the figures as pre
