10 HELP THE HOME.
Colonel II. ]. Williams. of Augusta, pre-
sented the following petition which was read
and referred TO the Finance Committee:
To the Honorable Members of the General
Assembly of Virginia:
Gentlemen.-Th Grand Camp of Confed-
crate Veterans. Department of Virginia.
specially petition your honorable body 10
appropriate annually the sum of $4,000 for
tho support of the Confederate Soldiers
Home near Richmond, va.
This institution was bought. buildings
erected and maintained for two years by pri-
vate contributions. At the expiration OF that
time the State made an annual Appropriation
of $4,000 This has been found totally mad
eQuate to maintain the present number OF
men and makes IL impossible for the board TO
accept the applications of many worthy old
soldiers. who must find resting place in the
poOrhOuse unless your honorable body makes
the appropriation asked for above.
The camps do not feel that they are asking
any fayors of the State of Virginia. but think
that the men who answered TO the call of their
mother state in 1851 and who served faith
fully during the four years Of war. who now
in their old age are suffering from disease
and wounds contracted while in discharge Of
their duty. have right TO call upon you for
sufficient means 10 relieve them ia their de-
clning years
The home has now present on It's rolls l25
men. representing nearly every city and
county IN the State. Since the home was
formally organized. January 7. 1855. 1865
men have been admitted. The cost OF main
tanning the institution for six and one-half
years has been ol2O, 953. 49, OF which the State
appropriated from February u. 1886. 10
February II. 1892, 100000 leaving $50 g5ls3
received from private donations: $1,000 Of
tins amount was contributed from the North.
mostly by tnIOn soldiers.
The $50 coo asked for will maintain about
three hundred and fifty or four hundred men.
as the expense decreases IN proportion 10 the
number. the fixed charges for the manage
ment remaining the same.
THE SIGNATURES
We therefore appeal 20 you 20 make this
appropriation promptly IS the board dare
not admit men until this money Is received.
