could get no one to take him in, and he was by
permi ssion Of the kind he trted ailor sent to the

When his body was put on the cars to be sen t

THE SYSTEM AS IT NOW is.
One would think after reading these statemen is,
which are only samples Of many more that we
might publish, that the system now worked by
the city, is very faulty, or administered by very
inefficient men. We have made very careful in
qury and find that the fault is in the SYSTEM Its
utterly impossible that pa pers can be taken care
of except at an alms house and under proper
head. The inmates at the county aims house,
live IN comfort at the same sum which, spent in
boarding them around, would leave them in IS
great suffering as we have described Last year
the miserable ''aid,'' if is worthy of that name
extended by the city, cost $4,000 and for this
amount of money poor house farm conld be
started near ahis city, and made paying insti-
tuition. Work might be gotten out OF many OF
the paupers who are not unwilling to labor
An energetic careful man would have no diff
Guilty in making it profitable, instead of a bur
den to The city. A pauper costs the city for
board alone under the present system certainly
$500 per annum, about " cents per day, while
the paupers on the county poor house farm cost
10 cents per day and now pay their oson nay
The present overseers of the poor of the city seem
to be economical as men can be- indeed SO much
