REPORT OF THE AGENT,

The report of Mrs. Duggan, the
agent, was a document of some length,
and with that of Miss Kiesel, the nurse,
occasioned the thanks and compliments
Of the board.
The agents report revealed the edu-
cation Of the public to the associated
charity method which had lessened the
sway of impostors and helped to bring
charity in Scranton closer to a practi-
cal basis. Mrs. Duggan had 2,l04 cases
during the year, as against ,596 be-
tween Nov. 10, 1894, and oct. 8, 1895.
There We're but 9S5 cases during the
year ending Nov. 13, 1894. There was
not q corresponding increase of cases
investigated last year over the year
previous, as many of the applicants
We're so we'll known that their cases,
worthy or unworthy, could be disposed
of without inquiry.
Miss Kiesel was appointed nurse on
Dec. 1, 1895, since which time she has
had sick cases in SO families, where II
deaths resulted and where she made 800
visits.
Colonel Ripple's suggestion that a
committee be appointed to confer with
the mayor and city controller and take
whatever course was necessary - Sc
| cure the consideration of q tramps'
wood yard plan by and financial help
from the estimates committee of coun-
| ellis, was embodied in a motion by Mr.
Moore and was adopted.
Before the meeting adjourned II. NJ.
Walter the agent of the United Chari-
| ties of Wilkes Barre, addressed the
board upon the methods of the wood
| yard and lodging house systems of
| New York city and Philadelphia, of
which he made a study previous to the
! PRONUNCIATION of a similar system in
! Wilkes Barre.
The report of Rev. Rogers Israel, Sec
retary, was as follows;
REPORT OF SECRETARY.
The secretary takes more than his usual
pleasure in presenting this, the third an
nual report of the board, not only because
of the great work which has been accom-
plshed, but also because of the universal
spirit Of unity in purpose and work which
| has inspired the board and it's agents. The
| heartiest cooperation on the part of the
| city officials, charitable societies and resi-
| dents of our city has made it possible to
| accomplish the very great results shown
| in the agents report. watch is to follow
this.
| We feel that we cannot too often refer
| to the objects of our organization, and
so copy a paragraph on this subject from
our last report:
THE objects of the Associated Charities
are to reduce vagrancy and pauperism and
ascertain their true causes; to prevent in
| discriminate and duplicate giving; to pro-
tect the community against imposition; TO
see that deserving cases of destitution are
i properly relieved; to make employment
the basis of relief; to elevate the home
life, health and habits of the poor and
to prevent children from growing up as
| paupers.
"The means used have been cooperation
among societies and individuals; a system
of registration; thorough investigation in
the case of each applicant; the obtaining
from existing charities or individuals the

The Hospital Project.

The City council took fClther action
upon the hospital question at Its meet.
ing Of Monday night, n: d as the mat
Ter now stands the City attorney i in
structed to draw up the deed Of trans
fer. The question of rights, privileges
and even desrability of the location of
ahospital here were very warmly dis
cusse'l, but the general opinion IS ia
vorable to the proposition There is
no question about the advantages this
city has over others for the location of
a hospital. The climatic cOndi ions
favor the location Of II sanitarium here.
Nor can there he any question about
TIE desirability of such an institution
within easy reach. 1t would not only
prove a shelter for the homeless and
frendless, but under the charge of
skilled attendants. as it will be, such
care 'an be given in cases requiring
special treatment that the institution
Will he found useful aud convenient
for ali who are afflicted.
Judging from the management of
similar institutions elsewhere we are
c"hhrnled 10 the belief that the insti.
luton will he built in such taste AID
Kept with such care that 1t will prove
"ne OF the attractive features Of the
city. This is true of the institutions
"'h IN Boise ana Wallace, controlled
practically by the same management.
A"e conclusion reached is that the
n"splta! will prove both II benefit
ana an attraction for Lewiston. The
act'Oh OF the council is cOmmendable.
