COSTLY CHARITY.

The extravagant OF the distribution OF outdoor
relief Of the poor by the Board Of Commissioners or
Charities Of Kings County Will be made the subject Of
comment by Supervisor Ropes, at the meeting Of the
Board OF Supervisors forenoon. IL Is as
serted that upward Of forty per cent OF the entire
amount expended last year on outdoor relief In the
City OF Brooklyn paid for salaries which amounted
to than 500 900 The contrast with New
York is most dsgraceful in this respect, as
In this city moro poor persons were visited
for 81 500 than the Brooklyn Bumbles' attended 70
for $4,000 Owing tho extravaganza in this respect
pursued by majority oil the Charity Board $40 600 out
oi the appropriation of SS5 0O1 tor the whole fiscal year
ending July 81, 1876, Is already spent The republican
leaders cooperating with tho charity reormers Tor
legislation looking TO change IN the system OF tho
distribution OF relief heretofore administered The
present Board Is democratic Will also be the new
Board, which will 60 into existence January /. The
democratic leaders say that had the republicans been
successful in securing the election Of their candt-
dates, Hutchinson and Harmon. here would have
been talk about reorganzing the system relief,
indoors outdoors They assert that il would be
act OF apparent injustice TO the people to set aside the
popular verdict by legislang out Of Office the men who
nave been fairly chosen az the ballot box to
commissioners Of Charities If the wrongs complained
OF exist they should surely be rcdressed but the
dict OF the late election should be tampered With
by the Legislature.
