Il scarcely know either what to tell you
about the establishment of an almshouse, -
said Mr.. Dale. Il am quite thoroughly
assured that the system at present pursued
by the county is subject 10 many obiec-
TONS but it is difficult to say how these
may be removed. Whether an afmshouse
would accomplish the desired purpose.
couldn't for the life of me say It is the
system that is pursued in many foreign
countries, and in many of the states of this
country, aud in other places it seems to
work well enough. 1t may be that 1t is
the thing for Savannah and Chatham
county.
If the city and county want an aims
house, there is a suitable site on the coun-
ty farm, that could readily be fitted for
the erection Of as large a building as
would be necessary or desired. The sys-
TEN of water works and sewerage now in
operation on the farm. could be easily
changed for the use of the almshouse
There will be no difficulty about its con-
struction, should 1t be decided that it will
be needed. For myself, I can only say
that years of very earnest consideration
of the subject have not brought me to any
decision that l am sure IS right"
