Sec. 25-11. Aid to destitute nonresidents.

In cases in which a person who has not lived in the city for
a year is in the city, sick and destitute, or not in a condition
to provide for himself, he may be aided from the poor fund
until recovery or in a condition to provide for himself. The
superintendent of public welfare may discontinue the aid at
any time. If a person is in the city, sick and destitute, or if
any female or children, unable to provide for themselves, are
in the city and likely to become chargeable to the city, the
superintendent, with the consent of the director of public welfare,
may send such persons to their homes and the expense
of so doing shall be paid out of the poor fund. (Code 1959, §
25-11.)
