not | am not prepared to say: There Is 1
way of inviting all the paupers here; there
ought to be way of keeping all paupers from
abroad away from US.
| A City Official-I must think it over.
can't say now There are strong arguments
for and against the continuance of the How
ards
A Stationer-It is cheaper to keep up the
Towards. The only plan, think, is to do il
| by voluntary contribution. Ii vigorously
worked up more subscriptions can be had
When they die out, in SIX months or year,
then canvass it up again. 1t requires effort
every now and then to keep the list up.
A Liquor Merchant really don'5 know.
| incline to think the county ought to do the
work. But, still, there are objections to IT,
Perhaps the experience in other States would
enhghten us. In many States they have
county poor systems that work well | be-
lieve proper system may be made to work
wei here.
A Citizen-One trouble is this, the county
sends in It's poor ard the Towards support
them, and the people of the city support the
Howards. That is ali wrong. Let US have
some means of doing the thing so the burden
will be justly distributed.
a Citizen-Not one cent more 60 the How
ards. That | give IN charity none will DENY,
but not rap for the Towards. I respect and
honor the men, but the system is wrong. l
am conscientious in this, and shall adhere to
my views. l have given the subject great
study. | ain opposed TO supporting system
that really fosters alcoholism and intemper-
ance, though the Towards may not think
theirs does, but in truth it does just that.
A FurnltuTe Dealer-If the Legislature
can't help it let the Society be abandoned. 1t
Is too much TO ask d few TO sustain it. Let
the county government take up the work.
A Policeman-The abandonment by the
Society OF its work would be calamity, yet
we know it is imposed upon. The steward
Is good man, but easily overcome by sharp
pretenders.
A Policeman i myself have stopped
people getting supflies-indirectly at least
OF the Towards, who were able to support
themselves and We're imposing on the Society.
L think 1t might be 3 good plan to aid the
poorly the local governments, and then rig
idly exclude the outsiders and the impostors.
a Wholesale Observation-Disclosures the So
ciety. | am an old collector for it. The
very class we have aided and do aid is the
class that turns about and votes local bur-
dens upon US. As now run the Society brings
an unequal burden on people. Let it use the
81, 800 1t has. 1t was given to it for use, not
for remote possibilities. The people are tired
of helping those who turn about and slap
them the first chance thew oct
A J-street Man-Have always contributed,
and besides buy tickets and help when asked.
The very class assisted and benefited is the
class which always will get help if it can.
There are plenty who ought to help who give
nothing. | am willing to pay my share, but
all others ought to do so, and the way to do
that Is clear.
A Merchant am for the Towards, and
believe the present system to be the best.
