ANNUAL MEETING
Of The Associated Charities of
Annapolis In City Council
Chamber Last
Eveninp.

The annual meeting of the Associ-
ated Charities was held last night in
the Council Chamber of the city. The
president, Mr.. +. Eugene Wathen,
was in the chair. The minutes of the
last annual meeting were read, officers
elected and reports read.
The president, secretary, Mr.. Gott,
and treasurer, Mr.. Samuel Jones, were
new district visitors were also nomi-
mated and elected. Mr.. James McMil-
Ian was elected vice. president. The
report Of the chairman of the District
Visitors, who carry on the actual
work of the Association, investigating
all cases and filling orders for their
relief, showed the organization to be
in a good condition-well organized
to do effective work.
The report showed a marked inn
provemet in regard to the suffering
and want in the city, perhaps due to
better industrial conditions. Last win
ter, in more than one half of the Dis
tricts there were no calls for assist
ance, and there were given out in all
but $S5, whereas winter before there
were nearly two hundred orders given
out. Through the kindness of the
Mayor and City Council, last winter
the District Visitors were able to open
small wood yard, having been given
place to keep donations of wood, and
this was not only great help, but the
moral effect was inestimable since the
people, when able, had to carry the
wood and cut it. Also it furnished a
Job now and then for some man out of
employment, as some of the wood had
to be sawed for those needy cases who
had no one in the family to do it.
Thanks are due to the janitors,
Messrs. Frantom and Wood, who, by
their assistance, made it possible to
carry on the work. A regular
system of collecting money by sending
out postal cards to the citizens for
contributions in the early Fall has
been established. This year it was
fund on hand for ordinary needs for
peal is made, it is to be hoped that
the citizens will respond. Every de-
nomination is represented among the
District Visitors, and aid is given
without regard to creed, race or color.
The organization seems to have spec
ial usefulness since it reaches, syste-
matically, all cases, and many which
otherwise woud not be known.
In case Of any general calamity il
is q means by which instant and effec.
tive relief can be carried on. The
organization wishes to thank all who
have helpled them by their money,
their personal service and their words
of sympathy and encouragement.
