storm center the salaries of it's va
that when comment was made upon
the salaries paid by the association. the
work of the staff was not clearly set
forth. The foregoing summary of
aims and extent of the work makes the
smallness OF the number and compen-

derment and even criticism. Certainly
a greater number of workers could be
employed to great advantage if the
funds were forthcoming. y visit to
demonstrate the economy of their
housing and equipments.
"As clearly shown for years by the
report Of the treasurer. Mr.. John Joy
Edison, the general fund of the Asso-
ciated Charities is not used for ma
terial relief. The primary object of
the society is to find out true suffering
and TO bring to its relief all the char
fable resources or the city. The asso-
citation is closely connected with and
supplies the organization for the dis
tribution of the funds raised for spe-
ciaI cases through it's own golden
book fund and by the Citizens Re-
lief Association. The total relief dis
bursements from these two funds last
year amounted s11,374.61. Deposits
through It's provident savings fund last
year amounted to s12. 1898. which ex-
ceeded the amount spent in relief of
applicants. Its summer outings com
