" The town of Birmingham has nut beau back-
ward in supplying the poor with employment ;
by a most judicious arrangement he. weer the
overseers of th; poor and the commissioners , for
paving, &c. of the town, every person applying
:'or relief seas immediately entered on the 'books
and employed, either paving, eartiog gravel, dig-
ging culverts, or work of souse description, and
raid actording to it graduated scale, s►ngle men,
6s, per week, married men; 7i. awl apt additional
;um for their wives and each child ; this arrange-
twent certainly increases the poor rates,, but the
advantages derived to the town are so many and
obvious, that we are convinced no one 'will regret
that the money should be .0 well laid out. it
likewise,.eucourages.tlie honest-minded man not
to throw himself and family entirely upon the
parish bounty, as he has the gratification of feel•
ing that he has earned the money which is given

for Ins support."
