CITY ALMSHOUSE.

One of the most important institutions Of
the government of the city of Richmond is
its almshouse. There are very few persons
who have any idea OF the labor and respon.
sibility which deyolves upon its superin-
tendent and other officers, and the system
which Mr.. Bigger has adopted is one of the
most perfect of any city in the country. This
will be seen alta glance by any one who. may
take the pains to look into the affairs of this
great public charity. One branch of the
City Council has, upon the recommendation
of the Finance Committee, moderately in
creased the superinlendenr's salary as tit
ting reward for his valuable services.
MIR. Bigger is also in charge Of the city
hospital, supervises the department of out.
door poor, and is the superintendent OF
Shockoe Hill cemetery. We are indebted to
Mr.. Bigger for the interesting statistics
which we publish below.
The following is consolidated report CIV
ing the number OF inmates admitted. dis
charged, and died, from January l, 1914, to

The heaviest loss during any one month
