FUEL FOR THE POOR.
The Committee on Fuel for the Poor
submitted the following:
"Thc committee appointed to provide
and distribute fuel beg leave torcport that
the appropriations heretofore made by the
Council at the disposal OF the Committee
on Fuel have amounted 10 300 cords OF
wood and 900 bushels Of coal, which have
been distributed 10 more than ] 300 fami-
lies. of which many were refugees. The
object of your committee has been 10 dis
tribute these appropriations in such man.
ner as 10 meet, as far as possible, the wants
OF the needy, and in order 10 prevent i'm
position they have required the certificates
of the clergy or physician or one OF the
Richmond Relief Associations, before giving
all order for coal or wood.
( SIN the beginning OF the operations il
was apparent to your committee that there
was much deStitution, not only among
those who have generally been considered
as the poor, but also among many who were
heretofore in comfortable circumstances :;
and in some cases those living outside of
the city limits, unprovided for by the
county of HenricO, were so destitute as TO
require the exercise of this charity on the
part of the city. To meet the wants Of so
many, and make a division according To
their necessities, your committee have
been obliged 10 use more than ordinary
caution in issuing orders, and il became
absolutely necessary 10 emplOy'an agent,
l., -ha lah hnr~ pT cha faa
t,attend TO the daily distribution. Your
committee believe that every case OF ac-
tua. want has been met, and the amount
appppriated has answered the purpose
inten,ed. The coal has been exhausted,
but thre remains Of the appropriation OF
the wod two hundred and thirteen cords.
The approach of the summer season has, 10
a large extent, done away with the neces-
sitv for,his aid from the city.
Yolr committee believe that the action
Of the Council has been Of great benefit TO
the recipients Of these appropriations, and
has ,revented much distress through the
wirer season, and that very few, if any,
received aid who did not require and desire
il and your committee will take occasion
hGe 10 say that the Richmond, Fredericks-
tlrg, and Potomac Railroad Company, and
ne Virginia Central Railroad Company,
rendered good service in transporting the
wood at such time and upon such terms as
satisfied the committee of their interest
in the work.
"Some appropriation would seem proper
10 compensate the services OF the agent
employed by your committee, who has re-
ceiyed and examined all applications for
wood, and given orders for the amount 10
which each applicant was entitled, and
they therefore recommend that the sum OF
s. be appropriated and allowed for that
purpose, 10 be under the control Of the
committee
