| At the close of winter which for duration and severity
has been unequalled for many years, the Ladies of the Harbor Grace Dorcas
Society are much pleased to publish a statement of the amounts so
liberally paid them both in money and goods, and of the expenditure and
distribution of the same.
The previous year's account showed contributions to the amount of £81
4s. 8d as compared with £48 5s 0d. for 1878. Notwithstanding the
prosperity of the fisheries in some localities, there was a general want
of success, and consequent depression of trade, last autumn; yet the
subscriptions to the Dorcas Society did not fall below those of the
previous year, which speaks well for the goods-will and liberality of the
contributors.
The number as well as the need of the applicants was much greater than
usual, but owing to the Government grant not having been overdrawn, also
to an additional donation through the kindness of W.P. Munn, Esq., the
Ladies were enabled to make a much larger provision to meet those wants,
than they could otherwise have done.
The following statement shows a total debit of £121 0s. 8d. as against
£101 17s. 6d. for 1879:
.....
The following list shows the quantity of each article or material
distributed, which must have been a substantial help and comfort to a
large number of the poor during severe weather and an excessive amount of
sickness: Calico, 1103 1/2 yards, Flannel, 382 1/2 yards; Wincey, 990 1/4
yards; Homespun 38 1/2 yards; Fancy Regatta, 26 1/2 yards; Swanskin, 12
yards; Linsey, 384 yards; Pairs of boots, 24; Pairs of hose, 37; 8 Shawls;
1 Colored Quilt; 25 Blankets. This leaves a balance in the Treasurer's
hands of 14s 7d.
