MR. Rues's ON PAllPEarile,

On Monday afternoon Mr. Ritthie, M.P., Presi.
dent of the Local Government Board, formally in- "‘
augurated the new buildings in extension of the •
workhouse for St. George's-in-the-East, and in reply-;,
ing to a vote of thanks for taking part in the proceed-
ings, Mr. Ritchie congratulated the Board of
Guardians on their careful and humane administra-
tion. Alluding to the numbers of the unemployed
and poor in the metropolis generally, he regretted to
say they had increased considerably during the past
few weeks. This had caused him considerable
anxiety, and from the inquiries he had made as to its
cause he found that there had been a great influx
from oth6r towns of persons who had heard that
there was a probability of a special relief fund being
organised of which they hoped to obtain a share.
He did not wish to check the flow of charity, but he '
could not help thinking that these large specal fundev
did harm. Some exception had been taken to the ..;
circular which he had issued urging Boards to coin.'
mence public works, but he did not intend to suggest
. .
that works should be started solely for the purpose of :
providing employment for those who needed it. He •
-44
merely wished to suggest that where such works had
been contemplated it would be advantageous to expe-
dite their progress. With regard to the requests that
Lad been made by deputations of Socialists an
others that the Boards of Guardians should find
work for the unemployed, he wished to state emphati-
cally that that was no part of their duty, and he
hoped the time would never come when they should -46
be required to do so. In the evening the guardians,
vestrymen, and other friends dined together at the
Holborn Restaurant, Mr. Byes presiding.
