nonchalance throughout the court pro-

Whereas, At this time, Jersey City by rea-
son of its proximity to other places, aud
being the terminal of so many important
lines of railway, affords a splendid opportun-
lty for the arrival of very many INDECENT
persons, and most of our charitable institu-
lions afford temporary relief, and then they
in turn send all applicants to the Overseer OF
the Poor, and .
Whereas, The poor of our city require all
the attention of the Overseer, and the means
at his command are not sufficient for the
needs OF those who are chargeable to our
city and those coming here from other places
cannot and should not be retained at the OK
pense of Jersey City. Therefore
Resolved, That the. Overseer of the Poor
be directed to notify all charitable institu-
tions ia Jersey City that the giving of relief
to persons whose legal residences not within
our CITY limits is an injury to the deserv-
ing poor in our midst and that they be le-

the ground that the Overseer of the Poor is
the only proper authority to deal with all
