DR.. Scherer gave as an instance OF
the need for better charity organize
ton one woman who belonged to eight
churches in Richmond and got from
the charity funds Of those churches
more than his salary amounted to.
Our problems are the same as those
OF other places. but the methods must
be different and we need Southern
training for people who intend to
work in the South. Our people are all
more or less interested. but they must
be trained. to understand what the

In asking you to go after money

charity. We propose to give value re-
geived for every dollar put into the
school. We propose to eventually
save the state one million and a half
dollars by spending wisely the money
now wasted by unframed people whose
intentions are perfectly good, but who
are simply not qualified TO administer
the enormous task Of dispensing that
amount of money.
DR.. Russell Bowie was the next
speaker and after expressing his inter-
est and faith I'm the undertaking said;
we must go away from this luncheon

WORK TO START
ON CITY DOCK
After Delay of Several Weeks
Contractor Promises to
Rush the Work.

After a delay of several weeks the
piling for repairing the city dock and
bulkhead in Front street. near the
Staten Island ferry. have been re-
ceived by Gus Wickberg. the contrac-
tor, and he promises to rush the
work in order to place both bulkhead
and dock in first class condition. Tho
planks for the dock have not arrived
as yet, however, but it is expected
that work will be started driving the
piling without waiting for the rest of
the lumber to come.
Considerable delay in getting this
dock and bulkhead repaired has been
experienced by the Board of Harbor
Commissioners owing to the lack of
sufficient funds. An advertisement
for bids was published in December
but the lowest bid was more than
the board had to work with. This
caused delay until members of the
board could appear before the alder
men for an additional appropriation
after which bids were again received.
The aldermen gave>the Harbor Board
an additional $500 with which to
carry on this important work. Wick
berg was the lowest bidder, his bid
being S3,427.
The dock and bulkhead are both in
bad condition and care must be taken
by boats in landing that the entire
dock is not pulled away. Practically
every piling must be replaced. many
having been broken off below the low
water mark until there Is scarcely
anything holding the dock Owing
to the condition of the bulkhead,
when 1t is unusually high tide or
rough the ground is washed away.
These conditions will be remedied,
however, by the improvements which
will soon be gotten under way.
The work of repairing the dock
consists chiefly of removing all of the
broken piling, putting In twenty
spruce bearing piIing, forty feet long;
twenty oak fender piling, fifty feet
long; resetting and fastening present
12x12 inch cap and setting about
sixty lineal feet of new cap; also set
ting of 120 lineal feet of stringer and
refastening the present saw buck
braces on eight piles. Repairs are
also to be made on the 100 feet of
bu1khead.
