The Fund for the Relief Of the Poor.

THE HEALTH OFFICER THINKS HIS DEPARTMENT
COULD WISELY EXPEND A PORTION OF IT.
Health Officer Townshend, in letter to the
Commissioners asks that small portion of the
fund for the relief of the poor be placed at the
disposal of the health department for use outside
the compensation of physicians and purchase of
medicine. He says that there is probably no
class of employees under the District govern
ment afforded such good opportunity for as
certaining the needs, in urgent cases. as the
physicians to the poor and the sanitary inspec-
tors. The labor OF these officers taking them
within the houses Of the INDECENT classes,
they are enabled to judge as to pecuniary con-
ditions and are frequently the witnesses Of
want where prompt relief should be afforded
He says that he thinks small portion Of the
fund now distributed by the police department
could be judicionsly expended through this
channel In conclusion he says that he is con-
templating in this request only the relief of
persons where the demand therefor is urgent
and the delay of reference and multiplied ex-
animation might cause further suffering
There is about $500 on hand for food and lodg-
ing to INDECENT persons.
