A REPORT having been indufriouly propagatcd in
"A New. York; that the principal inhabitants OF this
converting the donations ofther brethren IN the
neighboung colonies, which intended for the relief
of the luerng poor Of this place, their own private
emoument, contrary TO the charitable inteltions OF the
benevolent contributors And uch report entirely
without ANY of foundation, the public are dellred
not credit it; the following narrative being true fate
of the ea(.
On the reception of the Bottom port act, the chief con-
Germ Of the principal inhabitants provide relief for
all ueh whole fnppot depended their daily abour and
ia the place, for thoe tadeimen, whole a funds,
though fuieient for the purRoies OF life, yet
would foon be exhaule1, their eiourees were cut oit'
They confdered the employment of all thele, ePecsy
the former, much prudent meaiure than feeding
them qatbout any agtkymem ar all. They therefore
adapted fueh plans Of bane for their exeree, as were
likely be the NOT ufeful TO the public, well as mott
conducive to the health and good order OF the employed
Accordingly, the lbourers e cleaning docks, max
ing dykes, sUlayng old pavemcnts in the public SS
Sc. Theft all public concerns, and of no eaRa5e
to any individual, any further than memVer bf Etf
community to which he or me belonged. Moth stings
wharf, dock, dyke, or pavement, belonging to ah1k6
ydual, ordered to be made reped, but only fuc
by the conant uage Of the townS had always been
Imported at the expenee Of the public.
The principal inhabitants Of this town have invariably
conGdeed the generous benefaons Of their charitable and
patriotic brethren in the other colonies, as given entirely
for the relief of their INDECENT fellow citizens. But would
il not be offering the greatea niut to the good cnie OF
their benevolent neighbours, to uppofe that they intended
to maintain very great number OF healthy, aoe-ooded
people in ilenefs, which mul certainly be attended with
great prejudice them we'll TO the town in general,
both now and hereafter -Or that, they regret TO fee
and hear that poor citizens employed In works
which viii be public benefit,
Should the public intere Of the town Of Bottom be finally
advanced by thef fervces in faVng fome future taxes
and they even become imall compensation tor the m
conceivable damage which it's fuHaning, bya fat
pcnlon of all its principal buhnes can it be imagined
that, there is Jingle peion, in the amoa endeis hit OF
contributors, who is ioy find, that which he vouna-
ry gave, like to be productive of public advantage
It is much candid well as charitable, 10 think
that NUT be matter Of the geatc asattion TO every
benevolent mind to hear, that what was only intended tor
one good purpoie, had anfwered two.
