City Council AND - Associated
Charities"

1t Is due TO the Associated Charities
by the City Council that they should
be promptly and politely informed Of
any or all cases OF favoritism or par
tiality with which members of the City
Council have charged them. The charge
10 one that cannot be whistied down
the wind as OF no consequence. The
Associated Charities is composed Of
and supported by o large number OIL
our very best benevolent citizens. who
give not only their money but their
time to deeds Of benevolence and chart.
ty. Instead Of being antagonized by
the City Council, 1t should receive the
hearty support Of that body. Although
great allo wanses will be made for the
Hppant remarks Of some Of the men,
bers Of the City Council, yet its action
Is reflection on the Associated Chair
ties, and will serve as text for those
always ready TO find fault. 1t will
hardly be denied that the Associated
Charities have made errors in assisting
undeserving persons, but who has not
oeen imposed upon.
The Associated Charities Ia Just az
likely to be deceived as individuals in
the bestowal Of favors, but because an
occasional error has been made Is nc
reason why the association should be
held up 70 ridicule and contempt. The
Associated Charities has done . grea,
work-a work which commends 1t tC
the favorable consideration OF every
fair minded citizen. From December
End, last year, up to the 10Th Of o cto
Der this year, there were 2,235 appli.
cants for relief. representing 900 fami
lies besides 100 non-residents. Relic
was given to 1854 persons, Of whom
lilo were children. 1,246 coal orders
and 576 grocery orders were given out
while 1903 visits were made to desti
tute families by ladies belonging to tn
association. This Ia too good q wor
to be sneered st by Mr.. Blake or an
other mem Der OF the City Council. Th
ladies and gentlemen connected wit
the Associated Charities can afford be
ter to bear the opposition Of the Cit
Council than the City Council can
oppose them.
We still believe that the members
City Council who made these charQ
have been misled and deceived, and {
the sake of the great good that the A
ISOLATED Charities are expected to
the coming winter to the Door a
needy they will withdraw the injurio
insinuations against this noble instil
ton.
