PAUPERS" HAPPY. LOT.

for Buckingham Palace.

London. May 9.-Although nearly all classes
Of Fnglishmen would appear TO he revelling in
grievances. It cannot be said that there is any
lack OF solicitude for the welfare of the Brit
ish pauper. whose lot. unlike that of the Gill
bert and Sullivan policeman. would seem TO be
far from unhappy.
This fact has been strikingly shown In re-
cent months as a result Of the Investigations
conducted by the Local Government Board in the
matter of the poor law expenditures but to-
day it reached a point of sheer amazement
during an inquiry at the instance of tho Rate
Payers Association into the cost of the new
workhouse and infIrmary in the London Bor-
ough Of Hammersmth, It developed that this
workhouse in many details was equal If not
superior to any noblemans mansion. and that
It could vie with the most expensive hotel.
The entrance TO the building is between hand
some screens fitted with pitchpine and plate
glass; one Of the floors is of tiled mosaic
work surrounded by dado OF encaustic ware
of the most expensive type; every part of the
building is brilliantly lighted with electricity.
and a system of duplicate wiring had been in
stalled. Counsel for the Rate Payers Associa-
ton said this system had been suggested re-
Gently for buckingham Palace. but 1t
jected on the ground of expense.
The dining hall is almost baronial in style and
equal to anything in any of the great colleges
of the country The light to this room is softly
diffused by means of stained glass windows.
The site and the building cost over 81 800 600.
which is equivalent, far has been ascer-
taned. to the rate of S1675 bed This counsel
said was far greater than the cost of many
houses occupied by haTdworking families.
Other interesting features included the cost
OF the cooking apparatus-$15 pauper-while
the annual cost Of electricity is also SO an
Individual.
The Local Government Board, of which John
Burns is the head. seems determined TO sift this
matter down and prevent such extravagances.
and there is a growing agitation to abolish
the boards Of poor law guardians and turn over
the control of warehouses TO the borough au-
