New YORK, Jan. II, 1868.
Hon, WILLIAM HITcnmAN, Speaker Of the Assembly
DEAR SIR-Ths Chisens' Association OF Now York begs
leave call your attention bill that has passed the
Senate proposing to raise by additional 100000
for the relief OF the poor OF this city and also proposing
to give the expenditure Of this money to set Of
officials to be appointed by the Comptroiler
This Association but consider this in
its present shape unsound and nexpedient II this
appropriation is needed, the expenditure of tho
money should devove upon the Commissioners Of Pub
lie Charities and Correction Of this city, to whom this
kind of work peculiarly belongs The Commissioners are
or integrity and thorough efficiency, and they have
made their department a model OF economy
They expend about million of dollars upon
the pubic in institutions under their charge, including
tho relief Of tho worthy poor OF our city Their whole
department is well organized there beng district visit
tor the relief OF the poor In part Of city
The Commissioners well acquainted with the whole
sphere which the expenditure OF this additional
$500 600 should come They know the worthy poor and
could disburse the money without the cost OF an add-
tona dollar to the public whereas If this new set of
officials should be created 100000 OF the fund
would be consumed for salaries only.
The Association has just made careful inspection Of
all the institutions under the OF the Commissioners
and has found them to be IN an admirable condition,
showing the most thorough knowledge and efficiency
the part OF the Commissioners.
The Commissioners gentlemen who have had years
OF experience In this Kind OF work, and they COM
mand the respect and confidence Of this community.
The Association trusts that If II shall be concluded to
authorize special appropriation Of $500 900 for the
relief OF the poor TOR which, however, tho Commits
sioners OF Charities and Correction have Asked the
expenditure of the money will be conhded the Com
mlssoneIs of Charities and Correction, within whose
sphere OF duty the work properly comes.
The Association is by no means opposed to additional
appropriations for the relief OF our poor when the
proper authorities The Commissioners Of Charities
and Correction-shsll certify that ths occasion has
arrived for The making or such add tiona provisions
