Considerable space Is devoted by Mr.
Sackett to the subject of charity [ extendc
by the county The buslnt3s of this tied -
, partmmt , he say haD grown to such
alarmIng proportions during the Pst
"
1\0 years that It has come to be one of the
. most serious problems with which the Board
of County Commlsslcner 'Is confronted .
, Such authority as has been conferred upon
. public ofcials to act In this behalf has been
prompted by a pure spirit of humanity , and
. ' Is acquiesced In by the taxpayer In the same
spirit , yet It requires the utmost vigilance
upon the part of those charged with the duty
d of dispensing charity to avoId imposition and
- fraud In the beneficiaries of this public
, , bounty The method adopted In this county
, . In dispensing aId Is such that I lacks many
.1. of the inducements to defraud the county .
which attend the giving of money' or its
, equivalent In orders , which are practically
negotiable paper , but even with all the care
exercised It Is impossible to avoid
, exercied an occa-
sional Impostor.
; k . Of the IG89 applicants for aid In the last
; six months 1,252 were moles , and 1,121 of
* the whole number were marrIed : widows
- numbe.red 260 , and 829 were Americans. The
cause or dlstre8 In 1,132 Instanc was inability -

has received employment valued at its cost

, to each applicant who has been furnished
assistance , and conBlderlng the Increased

factory result , and shows a slight decrease
: In the cost of this department from that
of 1893 , which was $14.89 per applicant for

APPLYING THE LABOR TEST ,
Commlsslon Will UISIJenSO charity . but
They Wil Make ' \I'llcIU11 Worle.
The county commissioners have begun applying -
plyIng the labor test to the males applying
for asslstanc
There arc at present nearly 100 men at
work on Thirteenth street , south of Mis-
south avenue. They are grading down a IJr-
( ion of the street with shovels. The dirt Is
ton
use In filling up gule s further north and Is
being hauled a considerable dlstnnce. About
twenty-five teams have been employed. The
laborers are paid at the rate of lG cents nn
hour , payment beIng made from the county
store. The commissioners say that as the
articles are furnished at the cost price the
men arc obtaining very respectable wages.
The teamsters arc paid In casb.
I 15 proposed to give each man n week's
work each month. The men who arc work-
Ing this week will again begin work one
month from now and others will take
theIr places during the Intervening three
weeks Dy thus gIvIng work to 100 dIfferent
men each week In a month It Is though that
all the men who are now applicants will be
able to earn enough to support themselves and
theIr families for n month.
The object In gradIng the ts'et Is not EO
much to do the work OS to Wtet out ( coin
among the applicants those hat do not need
assistance , and those who are not willing to
work for the assIstance that Is given them.
This object 15 being acconplhed to a de-
gree but the number M the ; dropping out
Is fully made up by the number of new ap-
phicants. The majority Qf the later arc
persons who have nevar applied tf the
county before. They arc without innr.ey
and as It Is Impossible for them to obtain
work they are compelled to accept charity.
The commissioners say that there Is a larger
number of really needy persons among the
applicants this year than at any Iliac since !
they have been In office. In addition hero I
are an unusually large number of cases reported -
ported of people who do not wish , and will
not apply to the county , although they are
In destitute circumstances. Such cases are
investigated and assistance Is given.
The commIttee that has this charity work
in charge Is preparIng a new system In the
buyIng at provisions. Heretofore It has been
the custom of the committee to purchase the
articles wherever they could be bought the
cheapest and whenever they were needed
As a result at this method , however there
have been charges that the committee favored
certain firms , and thin system of purchasing
will be changed. I Is proposed to receive
proposals and samples at the beginning of
each week for the provIsions needed for the
weelc. Every firm that desires can state
its prices and show its goods , and the
best quality of the goods at the Jowest
prIces will be accepted , thus doIng away with
all charges of favoritism .
On account , of the mid weather the amount
ot , coal given has not been as great as was
expected , ut the amount of provIsIons Is
large The following statement of what was
given 'In Tuesday of last week Is appended as
an 'exampl : One thousand five hundred
pounds of flour . 248 pounds of sugar , 88
pounds of coffee . 15i4 pounds of tea , 280
pounds of beans , 14 pounds of rice 65 Pounds
of hominy , 160 pounds of oatmeal , 80 pounds
of cornmeal , 330 pounds of bacon , 15 bars of
soap , 13 pounds of salt , 1 % tons of coal
The amount of the articles for that day are
smaller . than those usually . given The
amount given each s"of [ course
person " , com-
paratvely small , just sufficient to kecp the
wolf from lie door.
