McMillan, Esq. Tom. Duppuy. . This Society was called into existence, a (Jo public meeting of citizens for the purpose of relievingc&ges of sickness and destitution which the Relieving Officer could not so well deal with. The frequent appeals to tho citizens of Auck-. land for charitable aid have become burdon soinc, and tho help given being unsystematic is . aot only ineffectual but sometimes wasted on 'he undeserving.. Convinced that tho public will bo saved much annoyance from begging. and expense, and that this oiganisatkm will da more teal good to tho poor j;nd needy than - isolated benevolent efforts, the Committee ap- ' peal for support. They will administer with great care all funds entrusted to thorn, and cause strict inquiries to be made into such ap plications for relief. Whenever possible, they will try to avert a tendency toi pauperism by. getting work for men and women, thus making; .: them self-reliant. You are. therefore, respect- . fully invited to par to the Treasurer, or any of I the Committee, whatever you may f eel disi>osctl s Ui give, U).enable tho Committee to;cany out the above objects. ■ ■-:■■• . ■ \., :. , N.B.—The Secretary can generaTlyj bo seen jftt/:;
