PAYING THE BLIND.
City's Annual Bounty 81 More This Year
Than Last

The payment OF the city's annual bounty to
the blind adul. poor OF the municipality began
yesterday at she Office OF the City Paynaster,
John 81. Zimmerman, and VIII continue two
more days. This custom IS so old that the
mind Of runneth not TO the contrary. but
this year there has been an innovation in the
method Of payment.
Formerly only one day was set apart for the
distribution, and this meant that many Of the
unfortunate recipients had TO wait hours for
their turn. This year the payment is being dis
tributed over three days and no one is kept
waiting.
Every year the city appropriates a certain
amount for this purpose, and the sum is divided
among such Of the blind population as are de-
penoent upon their own eXerttons or upon re-
latives, those receiving aid from other sources
being excluded.
The appropriation this year was S54,570. and
this divided among 1y070 makes S5l apiece-S1
more than last year. The money is paid in coin
1.-two $40 gold pieces. one $40 piece and one
silver dollsr-as the recipients would not be
eble 10 use paper money. They do not know
until the money is placed in their hands how
much they are TO get, and the payment is a most
pathetic sight. Some receive the dole with
apathy, but the majority overcome with
gratitude. IL any are unable 10 come for the
money 81 is sent TO their homes by special mes
