The Pastor of Tenth Street Baptist Church

Should be Done.
Rev. s. Geriah Lamkins, pastor of
the Tenth Street Baptist church in
long letter to the District Commission.
ers, has submitted an outline his ideas
of the necessity Of home for aged
and infirm colored people, the organ
lzation of which he proposes to ad-
vucste. He requests the advice If the
municipal authorities as 10 the best
method Of raising funds tn erefor--
whether to seek al appropriation from
Congress or first to ask help through
the medium OF private subscriptions.
Rev. Lamkins suggests that the insti-
tuition shall be known as the Chester
A. Snow Home for the Aged and In
firm Colored People of the district of
Columbia, Tne object OF the promoters
is to provide place Of refuge and
shelter for such aged color.d people OF
the District as may be found worthy
by the proper authorities. He suggests
the following trustees of the home:
President, Rev. S. G. Lamkins; Hon
John W. Ross, Col. L. NJ. Saunders,
Andrew Gleason, Perry III. Carson, Col.
Nj. M. Parker, Horatio N. Toplln, and
Daniel Murray, said trustees to meet
annually. II shall be the duty of the
trustees to hold in rust the following
described property: Lot 1S of square So,
fronting 80 feet on Champla avenue
north west, running back to depth OF
12O feet. Rev. Lamkins turthsr sug-
gests the following board Of managers,
who shall hold office until their sue
cessors shall have been elected: Rev. d.
f. Rivers, Rev. b. N. Brown, Rev.
Daniel E. Wiseman, Rev. George Lee,
Rev. I. l.. Thomas, Rev. William V.
Tunnel, Rev. w. Bishop Johnson and
Rev. Frank ]. Grlmke. A secretary
and treasurer shall be elected annually
by the board Of managers. 1t is pro
yided that no person shall be refused
admission to the home on account of
race, color or religious belief, and per-
sons from any state IN the Union are
eligible for accommodation. Other
provisions for the management and
regulation are detailed quite Kinutely.
The Commissioners have taken the
matter under adviseInent and are await
ing evidence as to the necessity for
such a home. 1t is understood that Mr.
Herbert w. Lewis, superintendent OF
charities is IN sympathy with The pro
iect. lie YOU, hes for The necessity for

such persons are sent to the aims house
and 1t Is the popular impression that
