JJ. — The word "lie" lnl•all^ he. she. or they as the context in any case will >u^<;e>t. and the word ■"applicant' includo the family s^roup for whom trans|)ortation is desired. C. — "'I'ublic C harity'" includes not only the otVicial charities^ supported b\ ta.xation, but any general charitable organization upon which the applicant in (piestion has no claim through mem- bership, blood relationship, i>r through the society's dehnite promise to aid the specific applicant. n. — 111 some of the following paragraphs, ""shall" is u-^ed, in others "s'hould" or ■niax." The former word is mandatory and the phrases in which it is used are to be accepted as l)in(ling upon all signers of these rules. Where ""should" or ""may" is used the paragraph is only a suggestion which signers may ob- serve or not. at their discretion. RULES AXI) .sUGGESTlOXS. Fundamental Principles. 1. — Before any charitable transportation shall be granted, the organization of officials having the matter under consideration must be satisfied, bv adeciuate and reliable evidence — I,l< K>>K INM'KC roit— \\ \I{I>K\ — It It TK KKTS 4| ;{ First. — That the applicant is unable to pay tTie regular fare. Second. — That the applicant's condition and prospects will be substantially improved by sending him to the i)lace in question. Third. — That the applicant will have such resources for main- tenance at ttie point of destination as will prevent him from de- pendence on public charity ; or. l-'ourth. — That the applicant has a legal residence in the place to which he is to be sent or is a proper charge ujHin the charity of that cf>mmunity. Verification. 2. — An applicant's statements must in every case be substan- tiated by other definite, reliable evidence. When this is lack- ing the applicant should be taken care of, if necessary, until the needful testimony is secured. Destination Notified. '.i. — In all ca>c> an appropriate charitable organization or of- ficial, if such exists, at the point of destination, should be promptly advised that the applicant's transportation to that place is under consideraion, or has already been determined upon. \\ hen a signer of these rules ib listed as being located at the proposed point of destination, it shall not be legitimate to send the applicant thither unless notification is sent to the signer in advance of the transportation being furnished or upon the day when it is })rovided. In exceptional cases where the sender has reason for desiring that no record be kept by the charitable agency at the point of destination, the matter may be explained to the latter, who shall then preserve no rec<»r(l unless the case is known through sources independent of the sender. 4. — It is strongly recommended that a repc^rt be secured from an ai)propriate charitable organization t)r official in the city to which transportation is desired, before any applicant is sent thither. This is especially urged when a signer of these rules is listed as being located at the point of destination. All signers have definitely announced themselves as willing to co-operate with other signers by making reasonable efforts to secure needful information and to determine whether transpor- 414 l.lt K>si: I N >ri < I ortation originated. In no case shall he be "passed-along" to another community which has no ade- quate responsibility for him. Dependents Returnable to Senders. 7. — If an applicant, who Tias been provided with charitable transportation without the approval of an appropriate charitable agency at the point of destination, shall there become dependent on public charity within nine months after his arrival, t'hen the charitable organization or individual who sent him thither should be notified and requested to provide for the applicant's necessi- ties or to remit tlie money necessary to return him to the place from which his transportation was provided. Maintenance Pending Adjustment. 8. — If an applicant has been forwarded in violation of any of these rules, the charitable agency which provided him with LIC'iC.\!«l!: I.XSPKCTOK — UAItUKV It It IK KKTS 41i transportation sliould be requested to bear the reasonable nec- essary expense of providing for him temporarily, pending in- vestigation and the proper disposal of his case. Records to Be Preserved. 9. The society or official through whom charitable transpor tation is procured shall in each case preserve a full record of all the essential facts upon vvTiich the granting of transportation has been based. A copy or summary of such record should be furnished promptly on request to any charitable organization or official interested in the case. When such request for a digest of the record comes from a signer of these rules, it sliall be con- sidered mandatory upon any other signer. 10.— In case of persons asking charitable transportation on the ground of being able to secure employment in the place to which transportation is desired, definite, reliable assurance of employment must be obtained as part of the necessary evidence. A general report that conditions of employment are better, or that tlic applicant would be 'better off" in the place specified, shall not be considered sufficient grounds for granting of trans- portaticjn. Prompt Answers to Code Inquiries. 11- — Organizations and individuals who agree to these rules thereby pledge themselves to keep a copy of the rules and tele- graphic code conveniently at hand, and to use all due diligence in making reasonable inquiries requested by other signers of the rules and in reply to communications regarding transixjrtation cases. Health Certificates in Epidemics. 12. — Persons forwarded by charitable agencies or officials where any contagious or infectious disease is known to be epi- demic, must be provided with the proper health certificates. Appeal in Case of Disagreement. 1^- — ^^'hen disagreement, as to facts or decisions, arises in regard to any transportation case, one or both the parties con- cerned may appeal to — (1) The Secretary of the State Board of Charities, if both dis- putants are located in the same State; or, if not. 4 1 (J LUKNHi: i\sn:«isivni — imioii i>i \iiii"» (2) 1 heir I \\ 1 I ^t.llC .■>IH I Cl.U IC^ U'MKlli;; J«'lllll\ III t'> rill' Diu- of tlicni. or — (:{) 'Ilu' j^'ciicral secretary i>\ the National Conference of Cliarities and Correction.
