ORGANIZED AID MEET.
Miss Chown Reported Seven
Investigated Cases Last
Evening Workroom
Procured.

From a report made by Miss A. A.
Chown, Agent Of The Organized Aid Aso-
ciation last evening. at d meeting held in
Mayor Hoos's Office, City Hall, it APP
pears that there is quite. as much work
to be done in the line of assisting those
unable to do for themselves as the organ
ization can handle. During the past week
Miss Chown has investigated seven cases,
including thirty-one people, three of
whom are in great distress. and one of
whom goes down on the record as a
beat Most of these cases, Miss
Chown finds, are in need of tempo
rary aid only, being out of en-
ployment, with no financial resource
to fall back upon. Groceries nave been
given in many instances. n the CO.
operation of Poormaster Hewitt has been
secured. With this assistance and the co.
operation of a few of the charitable or
CARNATIONS and churches of the city,
there is no doubt that the organization
will do efficient work. Miss Chown also
reported one case where the party in
question wished to adopt a girl of thir-
teen.
The committee appointed at the pre-
vious meeting, Mrs. Brice CoIlard, Miss
Lld Q1Oihy NlASS &AOWA eAtd 4AIS. W. I-
Drake, to find a suitable spot to estab-
fish a work room, reported upon two
sites, No. 70 Morris street, the old Life
Saving Mission. and No. 1872 Railroad
avenue, the latter being considered the
more favorable location. The committee
was continued with full power.
Then the question of a superintendent
for the workroom was brought before the
meeting and considerable discussion en-
sued as to whether it was necessary to
secure a paid superintendent or whether
volunteer labor could be secured and re-
lied upon. Mrs. Collard will take steps
Immediately to cooperate with the Wom-
ans Club, and it is thought that possibly
some competent person may be secured
who will take the superintendency in
charge for the compensation of free rent.
1t is the plan of the organization, when
a little firmer upon its feet, to AVE its
office and workroom in the same building,
but for the present they will have to
remain separate.
Mrs. Patterson, of DR.. Heirs Church,
and Mrs. Robert Elliott of Grace Church,
Van Worst, were added to the Executive
Committee.
There are still many names of della
qlents on the list, and all dues should be
in before March. not only because the or
ganization needs the money, but because at
that time the new year will begin. The
request is made that these VINO still "

Shopping Center Developments.

A call has been issued for a meeting of
Newark avenue merchants to form an
improvement association. The main OBJ
Jects are tated to be the procurement of
street Improvements for the business sec
ton and agitation for better transit
facilities to it.
We wish the association a wise career
and success in its undertaking. The diff
Guilty about such organizations is often
that they are unreasonable. They ex-
pect impossible things, and, failing to ac-
complish them, become sour cranky,
cynical and obstructive. We have had
many examples.
The new body may make itself efficient
and useful most surely by limiting its de-
and at first to what is urgently needed
and easily procured. BY agitating for
this and realizing its wishes it will do
positive good and it will gain strength
and public confidence
For Newark avenue. from Warren street
to Jersey avenue, a better roadbed should
be provided. The causeNay should be
paved like the lower section Of Mont
gomery street. or else asphalted- TO per-
feet the work. the business men them
selves should lay frst-rate sidewalks all
along the t~horoughfare and should re-
move all disfguring and projecting signs,
posts and other oostructions or blemishes-
This, in itself. would be a good seasons
work, even though nothing else were ac-
complished- 1t meets a need, it is COM
paratively easy to get the work done
In our news columns, a promoter of the
new association has something to say
about the need of transit direct from
certain sections OF the city to the shop
ping centre. There can be no doubt that
If this need is proven to the Traction
Company ii will be remedied. Putting
public spirit aside. the company is too
sager to create paying business for itself
TO ignore any reasonable suggestion that
S made to its officers.
