Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fourteenth Annual Report of the Toronto Relief Society, 1888-89
The Society has found it a necessity to continue the weekly Executive meetings, wisely instituted last year, and from this source, rather than from the monthly meetings, has the burden of the work emanated, and pressing cases of need promptly attended to.
The Society acknowledges itself as largely indebted to the daily press of the city for material assistance rendered it in so kindly publishing its meetings and other matters in connection with its workings, and beg to tender its grateful thanks.
Already has the Society, in some of its Divisions, begun to organize for next season's labors, and, with a view to render the poor more independent, propose to establish a light labor test, and also a Savings Bank, and Lending Library, to the end that those who can may lay up a store for the purchase of their winter fuel, and, by reading the books, Improve their minds, and more usefully occupy their leisure moments. This want cf fuel, and the demand for rent, has been the cause of the greatest drain upon the funds of the Society, and it is sincerely hoped that the experiment of the Savings Bank will prove an incentive to the more provident to render themselves more independent of relief.
