Blind Institute Enquiry
P.v Telegraph—l’ress Association. Auckland, last night. At the. i:juirv into the management of the Jubilee Institute for the Blind, Mr Wood, one ot the trustees, said he estimated that Tighe, the principal, made .HUM to ,I'JOO per annum. He said it was a fair inference that he made a profit on the food supply, which enabled him to indulge in expensive tastes, such as keeping racehorses. Tighe here explained that there was an annual amount at his disposal to maintain the inmates, and his own salary was .£. 190. The average upkeep of the institute was about .L-'O a month. I',lien Cochrane, an inmate, said live years ago Tighe behaved in an improper manner to her. Three other girls were present at the time. Samuel Cochrane, father of the girl, said he did not believe there was any truth in this statement. The girl was peculiar in her ways. Several inmates gave evidence contradicting the allegations that the food was inadequate, and stating Tighe's treatment was always kind and considerate.
