Order Of the Mayor Directing the Chief Of
Police TO Remove Beggars from Streets
THINKS THEY HAVE BECOME NUISAnCES
He Relieves that Many Norfolk beg.
gnrs Are Strangers Here ana NOT
Unfortunate Norfolk PeopIc-A Re.
fcciion Upon the Iiberaiity OF tho
People Hut No Discouragemcns.

within the past few months the num-
Der OF beggars on Norfolk streets have
nave become extremely common and
while. on the more public streets at
Ieasi. the law mas not been violated by
spoken requests for money, yet the mute
appeals OF suffering have returned, 1t is
believed, a rich harvest
In the opinion of Mayor Mayo. the
presence OF so many mendicantS on the
streets Is distinct nuisance which
perceptibly Increased. Sights of de-
formity, shocking to the eye and APP
pehling to the charity of the beholder,
must be obated. There are laws against
beggars plying their vocation On the
streets and while the letter of this s.a.
tute may not be violated by paupers
SIMPLY presenting to the public gaze
the sight of their intirmities. the Mayor
seems 20 regard it as violation of the
spirit OF the ordinance, as the following
order issued yesterday will show:
ORDER TO CHIEF OF POLICE.
Capt. Il. l.. Dornin. Chief OF Police:
Dear Sir:-Thn public thoroughrares
are being obstructcd by beggars black
and white. male and female, some with
organs and others with boxes, which
they hold in their hands and with which
they constantly impor;unc paSsers-by
1t is believed that most of these peo-
pie are strangers here, but whether
they be or not their presence on the
streets is an unjust reflection upon the
community. which makes ample and
Just provision for its poor. They are
pubic nuisance also. You will there
lore please rid the streets of them at
once. Very respectfully,
w. r. MAYO. Mayor.
1t would not be proper to construe the
ORDER OF the Mayor as implying n lack
or sympathy for the unfortunates. or as
encouraging to those who wish to aid
the poor people affected by it. AS is
stated he regards the presence of the
paupers on the streets as refec lion
upon the people of the city. hence orders
that they be removed. and IL necessary
given the aid provided by taxation.
In TINS connection II is well to state
mat many, perhaps the majority of
street candicants in Norfolk at this
Time are strangers In the city. Were
they residents Of Norfolk instead of the
unfortunate of other municipality their
appeals would be stronger.
