SOUTH BEND'S CHARITY.
An Important Meeting Held Tuesday Evening at the Y. M. C. A.
The second meeting of the gentlemen interested in the organization of a local charity
association was held at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday night and the attendance was such as to
warrant great interest in the object. Among he gentlemen present were the Messrs.
Campbell, Knoblock, Stoll, Brown, Guy, Young, Wilder and Hollowell. J. B. Stoll was named
as chairman and A. D. Young, secretary. As opening remarks the chairman stated that the
funds of the Humane society could not be appropriated for charitable purposes and that
some other method must be devised by which to raise the funds and that the two
organizations should go hand in hand in their work. These remarks were brought about by
remarks made by Mr. Campbell in which he wished to attach the charity work to that of the
Humane society and in fact, he insisted on associating the two.
Mr. Guy favored separate organizations consisting of some 10 people as the board of
directors and they to choose their superintendent.
Mr. Wilder than moved to organize a society to be governed by a board of directors.
The motion was carried.
Mr. Guy then moved that the board consist of 14 persons which was also carried. The
