"A NEWSPAPER RESUMES.

age of all the people here. "Some people
have unlimited gall,n remarked Chairman
| Osborn OF the transportation committee
| this morning to the News correspondent,
land would you believe it, people are
actually applying to us for money and
| transportation who are fully able to pay
| their way, and. in fact, are in comfortable
| circumstances. Every day our committee
| is besiegl d by individuals who come up and
| ask to be sent to such and such place, and
they say they are poor and haven't got
money enough to get out of town with.
MUST PUT IT ON PAPER.
When such person comes we make him
| put in his application in writing and then
consult together, and if we think he really
is in need, we help him along, but if he
doesn't impress us most favorably as being
| hard up, he doesn't get the wherewithal.
Of course widows and orphan children are
| treated differently, but it is the able-bodied
fellows who try to deadbeat us that we are
strict with. Those people," continued Mr..
Osborne, who have gone to Camp Perry
without informing the committe in is
city that they were in destitute circum-
stances, and who are now waiting for trans
portation from the camp, can't expect
much from our committee, as we are not in
a position to do So"
