Plana Forwarded for mn Addition to
Xevr York City Pavilion.
Commissioner T. W. Hynea of the New
Tork City building received word from
New York yesterday that the detailed
plans and specifications for tha addition
to the building on the Model Street have
been forwarded.
Mr. Hync3 declares that the addition to
the building will be completed and the en
tire exhibit installed before September.
The eihlbit will be a thorough display of
the work of tho Department of Finance.
Bureau of Charities, which handles all the
public funds devoted to charity.
It represents ono of the great advances
In municipal government, for the system
In vogue in New York has reduced charity
to a scientific business without robbing it
of Its humam purposes.
New York appropriates each "year more
than 55.000,000 for charitable purposes. Of
this amount last year almost S3.oQQ.00O was
distributed amorg semlpubllc Institutions,
such as sectarian hospitals, orphan asyl
ums, children's homes, etc. In this man
ner the city takes care of the needy with
out taxing its own Institutions to the limit
Finding that the money appropriated by
the city to these instlutlona was not han
dled always to the best advantage, the
Department of Public Charities was or
ganized for the purpose of obtaining value
received for the money expended.
