The receipts of these institutions for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1909, including balance on hand at the beginning of the year ($17,952.94), and including appropriations for Letchworth Village, Thiells, and for the New York State Training School for Boys, Yorktown Heights, amounted to $2,700,730.78.

The total number of their beneficiaries was $10,990.

In addition to the fourteen State charitable institutions above mentioned two more are established but not yet in operation. These are: The New York State Training School for Boys, established by chapter 718, Laws of 1904; and Letchworth Village, originally established as The Eastern New York State Custodial Asylum by chapter 331, Laws of 1907, but name changed to Letchworth Village by chapter 446, Laws of 1909.

During the year all the State institutions under the jurisdiction of the Board were visited and inspected by the President and Vice-President and most of them by the several committees and Commissioners of the Board respectively charged with their oversight. Together with the private institutions receiving State appropriations, they were also regularly visited and inspected by the Board's Inspector of State Charitable Institutions.

PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS RECEIVING STATE

APPROPRIATIONS.

The following named schools and institutions, ten in number, under private management but mainly supported by State appropriations, are also subject to the Board's visitation and inspection and were regularly inspected during the year. New York Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb, New York, 1817; Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents in the City of New York (usually known as the House of Refuge), New York, 1824; New York Institution for the Blind, New York, 1831; Le Couteulx St. Mary's Institution for the Improved Instruction of Deaf-Mutes, Buffalo, 1853; Institution for the Improved Instruction of Deaf-Mutes, New York, 1869; St. Joseph's Institute for the Improved Instruction of Deaf-Mutes, Westchester, with branches at Brooklyn and Fordham, 1875; Central New York Institution for Deaf-Mutes, Rome, 1875; Western New York Institution for Deaf-Mutes, Rochester, 1876; Northern New York Institution for Deaf-Mutes, Malone, 1884; Albany Home School for the Oral Instruction of the Deaf, Albany, 1891.

961.45; total receipts, $1,968,223.47. Their expenditures aggregated $1,644,679.32, and the total number of their beneficiaries was 3,370.

MANAGERS OF STATE CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS. Section 50 of chapter 57 of the Laws of 1909, constituting chapter 55 of the Consolidated Laws, requires that "the board of managers or trustees of each of the state charitable institutions, reporting to the Fiscal Supervisor, in addition to their duties now required by law, shall, by a majority of its members, visit and inspect the institution for which it is appointed at least monthly, and shall make a written report to the governor, the state board of charities and the fiscal supervisor within ten days after each visitation, to be signed by each member making such visitation."

From reports filed in the office of the State Board of Charities under this section of the State Charities Law, the following table has been compiled to show the number of managers present at each meeting during the year. Some of the managers may have failed to comply with the law which requires the actual signature of reports by the managers in attendance at the meetings, and this table shows those only who signed reports received by this Board.
