run on the proper basis The members say
they are well pleased with what has been
accomplished thus far. and believe the
prospects for the coming year are very
bright.
Mayor Meldrim has always taken a keen
interest in the affairs of the association,
mainly for the reason that it is a val
liable adjunct to the city government The
work of the association was tentative in
measure, but it has now proceeded far
enough to clearly demonstrate that its
work has been done along the right lines.
An effort has been made to relieve the
deserving poor, to the exclusion OF those
disposed TO prey upon the public and
make their living by annoying officials at
the city exchange aud elsewhere. This has
Been stopped, in a measure, through the
efforts of the efficient agent, MIR. William
i. Wakelee, the Mayor said. though ii is
impossible to bring the organization into
perfect working order in such a short
time.
Mayor Meldrim said the work had gone
far enough to show the association was
pursuing the right course, however, and
one that would commend IL to those In
future disposed to help it along by sub
scriptions.
The trouble has been the association Is
not endowed with sufficient funds" Mavor
