the leaning of money to poor people at
a reasonable rate of interest. It is a we'll
known fact that the people who are
least able to pay any interest whatever
are invariably compelled to pay the very
highest rates for the small loans they
secure by placing chattel mortgages
upon their personal property. In some
instances they part with from 100 to
200 per cent interest in order to procure
the money cruel necessity compeis them
to have.
= fund of $50, 900 is needed to start
the bureau, and Banker Camp has al
ready expressed his willingness to con-
tribute generously. Rabbi Hecht, J. G.
J. Campbell and Howard Green of Mil
yankee have undertaken the task of
raising the fund. which will be loaned
on the lines followed by similar loan
bureaus in New York and Boston. 1t is
proposed TO make each subscriber to the
fund 4 member Of the board Of directors
and to pay him 6 per cent interest On
all the money he advances.
The rate charged the first year will be
2 per cent month, which seems rather
high at first thought, but IS q rate much
less than the poor pay now. The second
year, it is hoped, the bureau viii be
able to reducs the rate charged to l per
cent 4 month or u Per cent a year. the
sum that is charged in New York and
Boston The bureau viii be made self
sustaining, and VIII be run on strict
business principles.
In 1886 Mr.. Camp organized what is
known as the Charity Relief association
and donated $40, 900, part Of the income
from which has been used as gifts or
loans TO deserving poor Of Milwaukee
The money is discussed by Agent Frell-
son Of the Associated Charities of Mil
