paying the bills whereas If relatives
took them they would support n
children. He said there had been
at least one Ease where an orphan
brother and sister had been separ-
ated and placed in different private
families in different parts of the
state. He also told of bills being
received for medicine, thought to
have been used for the children,

children had not been sick.
In reply to the fourth ward alder

He said that occasionally the finan-

made of their case. In closing the
speaker said it seems to him to be a
magnificent proposition, a fine thing
