The Pastor of Tenth Street Baptist Church
Outlines Plan Therefor Our Aged and
Intirm go the Aims House Something
Should be Done.
Rev. s. Geriah Lamkins, pastor of
the Tenth Street Baptist church in q
long letter TO the District Commission.
eIs, has submitted an outline his ideas
Of the necessity Of q home for aged
and infirm colOred people. the organ
lzation of which he proposes to ad-
vucate. He requests the advice f the
municipal authorities as 10 the best
method Of raising funds tn erefCr--
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. Inc object OF the promote rs
| is to provide place Of refuge aid
| shelter for such aged colorsd people OF
the District as may be found worthy
| by the proper authorities. He suggests
| the following trustees of the home:
President, Rev. S. @. Lamkins; Hon
John w. Ross, Col. L. III. Saunders,
Andrew Gleason, Perry II. Carson, Col.
NJ. NJ. Parker, HOratiO n. ToplIn. and
Daniel Murray, said trustees to meet
annually. It shall be the duty Of the
trustees TO hold IN lrust the following
described property: Lot Is Of square So,
fronting 90 feet on Cham plain avenue
north west, running back to a depth OF
| 12O feet. Rev. Lamkins turther sug-
geet ts the following board Of managers,
who shall hold office until their sue
cessOrs shall have been elected: Rev. d.

Daniel E. Wiseman, Rev. George Lee,
Rev. I. l.. Thomas, Rev. William V.

Rev. Frank ]. GrImke. 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 Rinutely.
The Commissioners have taken the
matter under adviseInent and are await
ing evidence as to the necessity for
such q home. Il is understood that Mr..
Herbert w. Lewis, superintendent of
charities is n sympathy with The pro
ject. he YOU, hes for The necessity for
home for aged NeerOes as at present all
such persons are sent to The aims house
and 1t Is the popular impression that
life in chat place is far from being bed
of roses. It is hoped that something
tangible will result from the several
efforts being made to secure home for
our old and infirm poor. The matter
should be pushed.
