ACTUAL POVERTY IN
 CITY, MAYOR FINDS
Plans to Temporarily In. crease Staff of Charity
 Investigators.

Expressing his belief that the labor situation locally has caused actual suf- fcring in many instances and that the conditions are becoming too serious for the charity department to attempt to cope with them ngle-handed. Mayor OrSon F. Curtis announced this after noon that he would appeal to repre- sentatiyes of local welfare organ.za- lions to work hau1 in hand with the city deica rtment 10 investigate the many appeals made and cases reported to the board. It is possible, the mayor eX- plained. to secure the services of a number of competent investigators without added expense to the city since the work they will be asked to do will be along lines similar to their regular duties, the only added requirement be- ing that they report their findings to the charity department. At the present, there is but one investigator for the de- partment, Waiter kosswig, who de- votes his entire time to this work. Superintendent William H. Cowlishaw has been assisting whenever possible, but the work of the office required a greater part of his time, it is explained.
 Many reports of actual conditions have been made to the mayor which would indicate that the families of bread winners, now out of work, are actually suffering and it is his desire insofar as is possible to avoid such a condition. In many cases, it is said, the families of foreigners are suffering a condition of actual poverty through a lack of knowledge of where they may obtain aid. Cases of this kind will be ferreted out, it is expected, with the proposed additions to the Investigating stan of the charity department.
 Among the organizations which are likely to be asked for assistance are the New Britain Charity organization, the Visiting Nurse association, City Mission and the MilR station. Probation Oficer E. C. Connolly who is in charge of the Widows Pension fund. may also be asked to assist. .--

IRISH TAG DAY TO @ BE HELD SATURDAY
 
This Method to be Adopted to Add to Fund for Relief of Suffer-
  ing in Ireland

Martin J. Kelly, chairman of the committee for Irish Relief announced this afternoon that a tag day will be held in New Britain Saturday of this week. By the observing of tag day it is hoped that a great deal more will be added to the fund already raised in New Britain. The committee feels that there are many in the city who would be willing to give as much as they could if it were only a few pennies and would much rather pur- chase tag then go to the office with a too small sum. Mrs. M. T. Cream, chairman of the ladies' committee, will also assist in preparing plans for the tag day the full particulars of which will. be announced later.
 On Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock a mass meeting will be held at the Lyceum theater and speakers from Boston and New York have been se- cured. The public is urged to attend this meeting.
