Arc There Determinations?
TO ne Editor Of The Erenin0 critic:
wonder II tho good people who have CON
tributed 80 generously for tho relief OF tho
poor know how tho funds are distributed, and
the Determinations made against tho poor
who bavo been so unfortunate as TO have re-
ceived aid from any other source : Here Is n
case In point: Living In the eastern section OF
the city is man, wife and flve children. Tho
man has been an invalid mot helpless one)
for over two years. He canes chairs, repairs
get do. They get but little work to do,
and that is 80 poorly paid that II VIII not give
them living, and they have been obliged
charities from time to time, but never wholly
dependent on the charities for support. Well,
res,r eey y ,Se go III Sy "
the Associated Oharltiesl, made application
for relief Mt police precinct, and instead OF
being relieved at once the applicant was In
formed that so and go has helped you, and you
received help from such one" "You see, we
| know all this," treating the applicant almost
| the same as ho would an imposter or a crimi-
| nal. "Well, we'll see," but up to the present
| NEARLY % hours after applying) no relief has
| been Afforded, nor have they "seen" about It,.
| Surely those kind.hearted people VINO con-
| tributed so literally OF their money never
| meant that those who have had TO receive par
| tial support from other sources should be dis
| eliminated against.
| JUSTICE.
