maintaining the service was . little
more or less than 5000.
To-day it occupies a handsome pubic
building. its employees number fifteen.
and the cost Of maintenance Is $16725 per
annum. This does not include eight rural

amazing proportions. During the past

Although some contributions are
coming in, unsolicited, according to

possible to continue the institution.

this institution of charity and mercy
should have to be discontinued.
AS stated, there are a number cf
regular contributors and a few dollars
come in each month from unexpected
and unknown sources, and the city
contributed $50 per month toward
maintaining the institution, but the
appeal of the management is for more
regular contributors. as 1t is necessary

principle and this cannot be done un

expect help.
Donations may be made to Mrs. T.

pledge themselves to contribute any
certain amount may notify her. Any
contributions, however small, VIII be
greatly appreciated by those who are
endeavoring to carry on this good
work.
