The Coming Winter--1'he Poor.--Fuel is
higher in price now than, perhaps, il has ever be-
fore been at this OF the year; and the prob
ability is, that it will further increase during the
| approaching winter. Indeed We have no doubt
| of this fact When the cold weather approaches,
and The sharp winds pierce the humble dwellings
OF the poor, who have no fire 10 warm their sbis-
ering limbs, many of those who have 'ths worlds
goods" 10 spare bestow felief-so urgent is the
cry Of humanity but frequently the demand ex-
ceeds the contributions from private sources, and
the corporations in such cases acts The part of an
almoner on behalf OF the public at large. Thus il
was last winter, when tie sum of four hundred
dollars was appropriated for outdoor succor.
We have made these remarks preliminary 10
suggestion that measures be taken at this time
TO engage fuel in advance OF winter Five cords
of wood may now be purchased for what four Will
cost when the cold weather ses in; or, in other
words, saving OF twenty five per cent. may be
effected by an early provision for this household
necessary.
The corporation of Washington las ever beon
liberal in this respect. AS a case in point On tho
the thireih of June, 1921 the city councils passed
an act authorizing and directing the mayor to
provide, or cause 10 be provided, annually, lot
exceeding six hundred cords of good sound
oak wood, at the lowest price at which it could be
purchased in those seasons when wood could DC
procured on the lowest terms the wood 10 be
deposited in convenient places in the respective
wards, 10 be delivered 10 the poor during the in
clement season, at cost OF in payment for work
performed for the corporation, or 10 the suffering
poor without charge, under such rules and regu-
atons might be prescribed by the guardians
for the poor provided that no portion be delivered
as donation 10 any person capable Of labor, who
should refuse 10 labor when required so 10 do by
either The guardians or the assislsnt guardians OF
the poor.
We merely refer 10 this law TO show that the
city corporation formerly made provision, in ad-
7ance Of winter, for the relief Of the poor. Oh
the same principle humane societies should now
act. We believe that, should effort be made
to this end, ii would meet with cordial response
from those 10 whom he case shall be fully es-
planned
