let City Council Name Man or Commission
to Handle Problem ol Destitute People
in Augusta; City Owes Something to the
Citizens Temporarily Out ot Work
Prominent Augustan and Large Taxpayer Suggests That Coun
cil Appropriate Money For Destitute of Augusta---Get Up a
Census of Unemployed and Handle Question in Business-
Like Way---Problem Too Large For Charitable Organiza
tions to Handle.
It ■rcms to bp generally recognised
that the problem of caring for AuguHta’e
destitute people this winter Is the larg
est. by far, that this city lias ever faced.
There Is no denying the fact that a
great many people arc out of vwAk and
men who. In normal times, earned from
$2.50 to sf> per day are walking the
streets without work and their families
are suffering from lack of food and prop
er clothing.
Augusta has a great many charitable
organizations which will do much to al
leviate distress. There is the Asso
ciated Charities, the Board of Charities,
the Salvation Army and others, but the
problem now confronting Augusta seems
to be larger than these organizations
can handle,—at least this is the opin
ion of more than one prominent citizen
and tax payer. The fact that all «>f
Augusta's charities are not operated
from a central place, and one institu
tion dues a t kfiot* what the ot*** rs *irt
doing, often causes one family to be
extremely well provided for, while an
other may he missed by all of them and
go on suffeilng.
There is a lack of system about dis
pensing charily that every one recog
nizes so one gent t man states, and at
the sAine time he does not wish to re
flect In the slightest on any of the or
ganizations named «»r any of the other
numerous organizations not name.l
Every one recognizes that the charit
able organizations are doing their ut
most. but the problem Is too large.

investigate the various cases of people
out of work, get up a census of the Job
less men. their residences, the number

authority and finances to do something
fo* them. This gentleman says that
Augusta owes something to the citizens
win are hard working law abiding and
home-loving and who, because of cir
cumstances over which they have no
control. aVc thrown out of work and |
their families are suffering from the lack
of the actual necessities of life. A man
or body of men standing high In tlie
community and in whom every one has
confidence should be selected on such a
commission and they should he paid for
their time.
While the city of Augusta Is In sore
straits financially, still she will he able
to furnish some money to feed the hun
gry mouths of the people In her com
munity. The various c<ses of those np

n<< being imposed upon and Augusta can
at least furnish men . meat and flour,
those simple necessities, to keep her peo
ple from suffering from hunger.
