 Treasurer Bunneli and Agent Preston's Reports Accepted-Direotors and Officers foe ;hn Year Elected-Accident Hospital Privileges Granted.
 The annual meeting of the Organized Charities association was held yester- day afternoon at 200 Orange street. A fair representation of the directors and members was present, and the meeting was an enthusiastic one. The success of the work during the past year was referred to by the president, Dean Way land, in his address. He referred to the decrease in the number of the tramp class applying for assistance. making it possible to give more work to the needy resident class.
 The president spoke of the cheerful response given by charitably disposed citizens to the appeal for the Wayfar- CTS lodge recently built. He knew that he voiced the sentiment of the board when he expressed his appreciation for being enabled to accomplish so great good.
 In the absence of the treasurer, Fred B. Bunnell, Chairman Max Adler of the auditing committee read the reports of the treasurer and the agent.
 These were accepted by the board, as was also the estimates for the ensuing year. There will be but little differ ence in the total expenditures for this year and the amount used last.
 At the conclusion of the reading of the reports there was an unexpected di- gression in the proceedings caused by the entrance Of Dr. w. c. Daggett of the prudential committee of the general hospital. who asked for the room used by the United Workers for an accident hospital, as the general hospital had to be quarantined because of @ suspect ed case of smallpox. The association voted to allow the committee the priv ilege if the United Workers concurred. Dr. Daggett telephoned to several of the representatives of this cociety and received their permission.
