DISTRICT PROVIDENT SOCIETY.
OFFICE, 4, QUEEN-SQUARE.
THE COMMITTEE of the DISTRICT PRO-
VIDENT SOCIETY are compelled, by the pressure of the
times. to appeal to the Public for immediate assistance, by Do-
nations, to relieve the distress caused by the high price of Po-
tatoes, and the destitution consequent upon the Sickness that
prevailed during the Autumn.
The number relieved'during Nov., 1845, was.. 215
At a cost of £2216 0
The number relieved during Nov., 1846, was 1,115
At a cost of £9B 8 8
Showing an excess in numbers of 900
onef l2 8
and this notwithstanding the most careful economy.e7s in the se-
lection of cases and the distribution of relief.
As the Funds of the Society are only sufficient for the ordi-
nary expenditure, it will be impossible to meet this extraor-
dinary. demand without additional aid, which the Committee
hope and trust the Public will, as on all previous occasions,
liberally afford.
Donations will be thankfully received by the TREASURER, at
the Office, and Books for Donations will be left at the Banks
and Reading-rooms.
