attention OF the Charity Commissioners and Of phi
lanthropic persons for several years past IL has
been the custom 10 expend large amount OF money
annually the employment OF visitors to the houses
OF the applicants for relief and ascertain their
true condton. Relief Is distributed during
three months each year, and these sal
aries have largely augmented the OF
the distribution OF the meagre supplies given by tho
county. Latteriy the idea OF appointing volunteer
visitors who shall without compensation has
been suggested ana several conferences have taken
place between the managers Of charitable institutions
and the Charity Commissioners. No provision has
been made for the salaries OF temporary relief visitors
by the Board OF Supervisors this winter. The Comms-
sioners purpose is that the wards be divided into dis
trics TO which visitors shall be assigned, the districts
10 correspond with tho election districts The Inter
l6l number All applications for relief are to be
made at the Office OF the charity Commissioners and
will be referred the regular visitor for investigation
Two gentlemen and lady will be appointed for each
charity district II Is believed the poor viii be greatly
