FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH SI, 1823.
CII Y MEETING.
At a meeting of the eitizensuf tfavannah,
belt), in pursuance of previous adjourn
ment, at the Exchange on Wednesday the
19th March, Inst. Gxonox Innas, Esq. was
culled to the chair, sua Joan C- Ntcoit,
Appointed Secretary.
Dr,' Wm. C. Dsfigli, from the commit-
teeof citizens appointed on the 10th inst.
jnade the following.
REPORT.
It has ieen a source of grateful sa-
’tUfactionTd your Committee, to ob
serve in the resolution under which
they .have been appointed, a recount
tion on the part of their fellow-citi-
Zens of the propriety of u public ap
propriation tor the support of a re
ceptacle for the relief of the disabled
and diseased poor of your city. Nor
* would your commitee permit them
selves to believe, that even in tin-
present embarrassments of the times,
were no other means available, you
would hesitate to authorize addition
al taxes for the relief of those whom
adversity and misfortune have cast;
Upon your bounty. For many years
has an asylum for their relief been
supported amongst you, without any
other than small casual appro
priations by the city—and by whom
hasit been supported f Chiefly ,by
the private contributions of those who
compose this meeting! It cannot
then be imagined, that you, who
when the suffering of the poor
were comparatively small, gave liber
ally from your private purses lor their
relief, would now, when the objects of
charity have greatly multiplied a-
monst you, withold tne pittance which
would administer to their wants
- and suffering' That such an insti
tution has nut been sooner endowed,
by the corporation is solely attributa
ble to the extensive charities of the
citizens pf Savannah, which rendered
It unnecessary—your liberalilj/ tu the
objects of charity at home and abroad,
is too well known to permit the fear
that when your own poor multiply,
in? upon yoo with the embarrassments
of the times, and claiming a per
manent gratuity for their relief,will be
denied the pittance which they crave.
The same causes which tend to. seg
ment'(he nomber of those requiring
your charities, operate in lessening
positively the power to relieve j so
whist the poor are increasing, the
means of asssistance proportionably
decrease, and the period lias at length
arrived when public appropriations
Ore required to supply Rite defioi
enev of private contributions.
For three yeurs the appropriations
b) the Corporation to the sick poor in
their own houses,have fluctuated from
£800 to £4,500. The same sums ex
pended through the Pour House and
Hospital, would have given a more
efficient charity to at least four times
;llie number—and when a permanent
appropriation shall be made for that
Institution, it will be alike unjust and
Impolitic to make any appropriation
for the relief of the sick in their own
dwellings. By such a grant to the
Poor House and Hospital, the quan
turn of relief afforded will be greatly
increased and-the funds of the ci(y
economised.
Tour committee are happy in being
enabled after a full investigation ol
the financial resourc s of the city, to
#late confidently that the revenue of
dhe-City will fur exceed the expen
ditures (If the same, and leave a hand
some surplus, from which they would
recommend an -appropriation, perma
nently, 'of £2,300 per annum, for the
Poor House and Hospital, which sum
your committee art of opinion, can be
-safely spared Irom the revenues of the
■citv, wi’hout materially retarding the
extinguishment of the public debt,
And which will be sufficiently aided
'by the receipts from the county funds,
the general government and the ettn-
tribu'ions of private individuals—
to fulfil the benevolent and humane
intentions of the founders of that iu-
«titution.
Should howev r a desire be felt by
their fellow citizens, to add yet furth-r
to tho surplus revenue of the city,
your committee are of opinion that
the lighting of the city, as at present
execoicd, ooOid be well spared and
.especially so,' if such a measure at-
.lorded the only means by which an
appropriation could be made for the
Poor House and Hospital.
Subjoined is a table shewing the
estimated receipts and expeditures,
and the recent and proposed reduc
tion in the expenditures. The calcu
lations are taken as far as they go,
from the published report of the select
■committee of Council made 28di Nov.
18-22. with this exception that a re
duction ol 53 1-S per cent, has beet,
made by your committee, upon the
tax upon real estate and commissions,
•sttmated-by the receipts of the la. t
year—sod this reduction it is believ •
a>l will be deemed .ample for an}
4cliuil that urn/ accrue Iron tb»
reductions in the vhlue of real estate*
and the miountof commissions, bn'h
of which pay an ad Valorem tax. Too
es imales in (tie reductions of expen
diture-made by your Committee, are
f u Ue.l upon ample data and which
they are persuaded cannot o any
extent be taltactous—all of which is
respectfully submit ted.
