The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-08-04

The first quarterly report of Birming- hams newest organization, the Asso- ciated Charities, was completed yester- day and showed three months of re- markable work, more than doubling the record of the first month and caring for over 800 people whose circumstances were such that they needed outside aid. Here is the report in full:
 .'The quarterly report of the Associated Charities shows very plainly that there was need in this city for concerted action by the community in handling the ever present civic problem: What to do with the unfortunate who are unable to help thenselves.' The natural answer that suggests itself is to help them. But help them in what manner? By giving money to the applicant?
 This seems to be the simplest method and one that, unfortunately, too frequent ly comments itself to the average citi- zen. anxious to relieve suffering and without the leisure to pursue the more scientific course adopted by organized charities throughout the country, namely: .Teach the unfortunates to help them selves
 .'This may be done in but one way by the expenditure of considerable time on each individual case. This Is done largely through the activities of the va rious friendly visitors connected in a volunteer capacity with the Associated Charities. All credit is due these faith full workers for the successful manner in which they have handled the various cases that have come under their super vision for constructive work during the past three months and it is largely through these efforts that cases have been reported on the records as closed, mean ing thereby that the cause of distress has been eliminated and the individual or family directly interested is well on the --pad to independence
 {"When a case is reported to the Asso- ciated Charities as needing attention, no matter of what character, thorough and painstaking investigation is made by the field agent. a trained worker. and such immediate relief given as in each case seems expedient. Every effort is made to interest all possible forees for better ment, outside the immediate family, such as friends, relatives, both at home and fact, every possible agency is brought into play that promises ultimate benefit to the one most concerned. A full report of the case is maintained. and when the preliminary work is completed 1t is given

the country. for a considerable distance
around would be so fairly saturated

it would not be oil out OF Mr.. Delivers
corporosity," he said.
Then he referred to the attack Of
Fordney, of Michigan, upon senator Bev-
cridge, "the Republican boss OF Indiana, .
and said:
A stump debate between these two
eminent Republicans would double dis

SINKING FUND
Auditor General Fuller Would Use
Funds To Tide State Over Threat

, cial. Although the state treasury is
not broke. IL is figuratively speaking,
badly bent" as State Treasurer
Sleeper declared in an interview
given out at Detroit yesterday. The
ship OF state will hit the financial
rocks next year and the year fol-
lowing.
With the exception OF Auditor-Gen-
eral Fuller, none OF the state officials
would admit before election that there
was any possibility OF the state hav-
ing 10 borrow money again this year.
He pointed out several weeks ago
that by the first OF December there
would not be more than enough money
In the state treasury 10 pay salaries OF
employees. This condition exists at
the present time, and State Account
ant Fred Hamilton said this morning.
that all large accounts have been
held up for several weeks.
The soldiers home at Grand Rap
ids, recently presented a voucher for
$l4,S33 that has not been honored.
The Michigan reformatory at lonia Is
entitled to $4,000 which has not been
paid.
The state board OF education would
like TO draw $4,000. but there are no
funds to pay. and the u. OF NJ. will
make a reQuisition within q few days
for SOS, 600 which will not be paid UNI
til the state taxes are received.
During the last session OF the leg
islature, Auditor-General Fuller and
State Accountant Hamilton foresaw
the possibility OF future financial diff
fculties, and asked that the levy be
sufficiently large TO cover the COM
ing deficit in the treasury. These Of
ficials conferred with the committee
on ways and means and pointed out
the necessity for a larger appropria-
ton, but the committee. in a desire
to economize, cut the figures OF Fuller
and Hamilton TO the extent OF $637,-
375, which is approximately the
amount that will be required TO pay
expenses until the state taxes fill the
strong box again Auditor-General
Fuller advocates the creation OF
sinking fund OF at least $500, 900. to be
used In emergencies such as the one
that confronts the state at the present
time. Deputy State Treasurer John
Haarer says that there will be enough
small receipts to pay the salaries or
the employees.
The board Of auditors is authorized
to borrow TO the extent OF $250,000
but this would hardly be sufficient to
pay all OF the accounts that are rapid
ly accommodating. and all OF the larger
creditors may be asked to wait until
there is a larger supply OF cash on
hand.
Today there is about $4,000 in the
general fund.
