WHERE HENRY BERGH WORKED.
When Henry Bergh organized the society in 1866
us home was In a small office at Broadway and
Fourih-st but for years. while Mr.. Bergh was
president OF the society and drawing to II the
support OF many friends In this city and in other
cities the society had its headquarters in the house
at No 100 East Twenty -second-st. Mr. Bergh died in
lsss and in the following year John p lalnes became
the president of the society. and he still holds the
place The society moved its headquarters to No. 10
East Twenty -second-st in 1892.
The society has been supported by voluntary con-
trbutions and bequests Its work in recent years
has been increasing. but II generally supposed
that lack OF sufficient funds prevented the society
from procuring for itself larger headquarters, while
the rooms in the building No 10 East Twenty-second-
ST. have been growing too small for the use OF the
many employees and for the storage Of the increasing
records and documents. Since the duty OF issuing
dog licenses devolved on this organization many
New-Yorkers have had occasion 10 call at the head
Quarters and have been crowded in the small recep
tion-room. The society publishes a monthly maga-
zine and issues the house. and the work has
to be performed in limited space.
Although it has been generally understood that
the society needed more extensive quarters. the
selection OF extremely prominent and expensive
a site and the plans 10 erect upon that site
costly building for the exclusive use OF the society
caused surprise among many New-Yorkers who
have been accustomed to make yearly contributions
for the support and extension OF the work. Some
of them have said recently thar they doubted the
wisdom OF expendng so large sum $4,000 for
a permanent home. with the certainty that the rev.
