tabliahment of . lodging house, and the
present industrial home is the outcome
Of the 1abers of the committee.
In speaking of the scope of the work the
pastor, Rev. e. N. Poteat, said recently:
"There has long been q demand in this
city for q lodging house euch a. We pro-
pose to establish, and which will be run on
the same plan As similar ones in New York,
Philadelphia and Boston. The plan ia to
furnish good, clean lodgings at ten and
twenty cents, according to the accommoda-
lions, with meals at Eve and eight cents
each. The ladies of one benevolent society
have already made 100 sheets and pillow
cases for the beds, and q large number of
night robes. The plan is to give all the
dodgers q bath before they retire.
In view of this want here in New Haven,
the plan ia to provide good lodging house
free from all contamination. It will be
provided with clean beds, baths, reading
room, facilities for furnishing breakfast
of coffee and porridge, and Christian
secretary who will in all possible ways
assist the dodgers to better life. Gospel
meetings will be held, and If required, a
labor bureau and savings bank will be
added.
The plan is to afford the very best
accommodations that we can give at cost
price. It is probable the enterprise will
not be quite self-supporting, but should
there be any surplus, 1t will be applied to
developing the work. The home will be
| entirely non sectsrian. It is purpossd in
| cases of those who want q permanent
home to lssp them for about 81 week.
believe 1t will do more good to keep one
| man 100 nights than 100 men one night.
| We can reach q man and aid him better.
Ono of these lodging houses in New York
| has cared for boarders for three and foul
years continually. Several of the mission
people in this city have said that they
have long felt the want of just such {
house as We propose to establish. W.
shall do our utmost to make this charity
| q success and helpful to many people,"
