rInEMRN's CHARITABLE AssoCIArroN

Twenty -five Thousand Dollars for widows
and Orphans.
The meeting OF tho board OF delegates Of the
Firemehs Charitable Association on Monday, at
their rooms in the City Hall, was interesting in
many respects.
Il was agreed that II new truck for Hope Hook
and Ladder No. 3 and new hose carrisge for
Perseverance No. 10 bo ordered. " was also de-
oided that sixty new vaults should bo built In
their cemetery at tho ridge
BY far tho most interesting subject debated
was the report OF tho Relief Fund Committee.
The report shows that the amount necessary
TO support tho widows and orphans OF the asso-
citation will amount for this year to tweBty- five
thousand dollara. which IL IN increase, and is due
70 the poverty OF our people.
THIS HEAVY DRAIN
in tho finances OF tho association lol to sptrit-
cd debate, during which several s'atsments were
made, Buowing that allowances from the sick lugd
had been made with possibly too much liberality.
As long as the associat on felt itself competent TO
be liberal, 1t has ntt inquired too closely into the
absoluteDess OF tho needs or its members who
have almost invariably, in case OF sickness, been
given the allow ance OF money stipulated in such
cases.
Although owing to The admirable IN management
Of the association, abuses have been prevented,
it Is related that tho committee has at times
received applications of sextrs ordinary nature.
One case in point is repor cd, that OF o member
who owned five or six houses, who
APPLIED FOR RELIEF,
on the ground that his properly had not been
rented FOR Ion while and he was entirely desti-
tute Of ready funds. The request for relief was,
OF course, denied.
The course which It is proposed to pursue
hereafter is to thoroughly scruti, ize all appica-
tiops for relief and TO grant 1t only In such
wherein the applicant Is in reality destitute and
entirely dependent upon tho association for such
rei,f. 1t must be remembered that the associa.
ton not only provides for physician and medi-
cines for its needy members in case Of sickness,
but also supplies his family with food and the
wherewithal to pay rent.
