Section 4. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That in order to aid the funds of the said asylum, the Governor is hereby authorised and required to draw his warrant on the State Treasurer, in favor of the president of said institution, for the sum of eight thousand dollars immediately, and moreover shall draw his warrant on the State Treasurer in favor of the said president, for the further sum of one hundred and sixty dollars for every indigent pupil taught in said school, one half to be paid at the expiration of the term of six months, and the remainder at the end of the year: Provided, That no one scholar shall be taught at the expense of the commonwealth more than three years: And provided also, That the sum so to be drawn from the treasury for such tuition, shall in no one year exceed the sum of eight thousand dollars.
Compiler's Note: Section 11 of Act 49 of 1838 repealed
section 4 insofar as it limits the annual appropriation
for tuition to eight thousand dollars.
