666 STATE AID AND CHARITIES. [ART. LXXXVIIIA
1916, ch. 705, sec. 4A.
4A. To enable the Board of State Aid and Charities to properly
discharge the duties imposed upon it by this law, the said Board may
of its own motion, or by the direction of the Governor shall cause
charges to be formulated against any corporation, association, institu-
tion or agency receiving financial assistance from the State or with
which the State has contracts and cause a copy of such charges to be
served on such corporation, association, institution or agency; and shall
have power to issue a summons for witnesses and documents, which
summons shall be duly served, as are other similar writs, by any sheriff
to whom the same shall be directed, and to administer oaths, and take
testimony which it shall cause to be transcribed and included in its
report. And the said Board shall have further power to visit, in per-
son or by its Secretary, any institution receiving financial assistance
from the State, 6r with which the State has contracts, and to thoroughly
inspect the management, buildings and equipment thereof. But such
visits and inspections shall be made at reasonably convenient hours and
with reasonable regard to the established discipline, regulations and
customs of the said institution; provided that any party who shall feel
aggrieved at the action of said Board hereunder may within thirty days
after the determination by said Board appeal to any Court of General
Common Law Jurisdiction in the county or city where the office of the
said Board shall be located at the time of said appeal; and the said
Court, sitting without a jury, shall thereupon fully investigate the sub-
ject matter of the said appeal, and decide all questions of law or fact
arising in connection therewith, and affirm, reverse or modify any
determination of the said Board in the premises, and make such dis-
position of the costs of the appeal as it shall find to be just. Provided,
however, that all the monies appropriated to Charitable Institutions
shall be paid to them on a per capita basis according to rates fixed by
the Board of Public Works, which rates should represent the reasonable
cost of rendering the services required of the said institutions to the
persons under their care and should be impartial, fair and uniform in
the case of all institutions caring for persons of substantially the same
class and under conditions approved by the Board of Public Works.
And provided further, that the amount which may be earned by any
institution in any one year shall not exceed the amount appropriated to
it.

upon by the Board. The Secretary shall also be allowed his reasonable
traveling expenses in attending to his duties. The Secretary shall
devote his whole time to the duties of the office; and the said Board,
with the approval of the Governor, may appoint such stenographers
