The Relief Of the Poor, 'D''

For IRE Tnsuur.
The Relief OF the Poor.
am instructed by the Managers Of the Asscci-
alton fos the Improvement Of the Condition Of the
Poor TO address this communication to The T'o9-
ba9e, that rhe humane matters TO shieh it refers,
may through your columns be sprad before the
public
itis principle OF this institution TO regard all ss
picants Tor aid as entitled 10 relief, aaii careful
examination proves the contrary snd ii provides
that all cases, represented as failing OF attention
from the -isitess, shall, upon reference to the Gene
raj \ gent receive his personal Investigations.
But i, does not ;heac, follow that all applicants
vii! be relieved by the Association. For some have
claims on other charities; many oal4 I'll subjects
or the Aims House; Others psuyers by probes
sion and impos,ors; while not ieV are recent I'M
migrants legally entitled 70 a support from ship
peTs or coasignees who have given bonds OF indem'
nity 20 the CITY authorities for thus purpose. Let
however be distinctly understood, that IN the cases
named. and all of similar character t there is risk
OF actual suffering, assistance Is given by the Asso.
cia.iou until relief from the appropriate source 10
made available for their benefit.
But II all are not relieved LEI the fact be borne IN
nind that uous neglected. Through the complete
supsrvision which this system OF charity ex,ends
ceive immediate investigation, and auch action us
they require. And while perfection for the System
is claimed, II Id matter ~ graduation 10 be sna-
bIsd 10 state that in tortytrse cases recently ex-
amirst by myself ait the c0mplsins excepting ore
were ascertaired 10 be unlounded; and the oDe IN
question was occssioned by different persons living
at the same number, making application for aid The
same day; and the notice being left the house OF
the visitor il mistaken by him Ter second call
from the person he had just relieved, and was corse
10 NH
me complaints made hsvo originated either in mis-
apprrhrusion of ha principles on which reliet is
g,yen or in the unreasonable expectations OF the
persons relieved. But whatever their origin they
are presumed TO DO just, until careinl lnves'igahon
either exposes their iallacy provides redress
Some few have also complained OF the dietary
systsp which has been observed in giving relief In
mis- they have overlooked some oi the fundamental
rules OF the Institution, which require the visier
TO give what is least susceptible nl abuse;
To give even necessary articles only IN small
Quantities in proportion 10 Immediate need;
To give assistance both in quantity and quality,
except n cases Of sickness, interior TO what might
be procured by labor;
To Give assistance at the right moment, and rot
to prolong il beyond the duration Of The necessity
which calls for H. but TO extend, resrict anu Woony
twiIh that necessity
While the rigid observance OF these rules enables
the Association 10 accomplish much more WIN Inc
means entrusted to il than if more liberal system
Ind bsen adopted their teudency and design is 10
induce persons To pre- fer life of labor 10 dependence
upon aims If these principles, as We maintain, are
correct then the complaints against them are neon
sidrrae and nludiciOus.
