The superintendent of charities, Mr. John Tracy, is in favor of restoring to the Dis- trict institutions concerned with the care of children the full measure of appropria- tions heretofore granted them, and which were diminished 40 per cent under the last appropriation in order to provide a fund to be expended by the board of children’s Guardians. He recommends that an inde- pendent appropriation be made for the use of the board mentioned. This subject forms one of the chief topics discussed by Mr. Tracy in his annual report, handed to the District Commissioners today. In some other matters he expresses dissent from the views urged by his predecessor, Mr. War- ner. Mr. Tracy's report says: “Taking office on the 10th day of April of this year, my first duty was to ascertain the condition and prospects of charitable and correctional projects initiated during the incumbency of my predecessor, and upon his recommendation. The most impor- tant of these new enterprises, yet in the ex- perimental stage, are the municipal lodging house, the reform school for girls and the board of children’s guardians. Respecting each of these it is my purpose to report in some detail, with sincere acknowledgment of the meritorious intentions that inspired their inauguration, but with perfect frank- ness as to any points in which results have failed to fully respond to the expectations of founders. It is virtually impossible that such plans should, in all respects and de- tails, justify the hopes of their authors, and I am convinced that, had the late superin- tendent of charities continued in office, ex- perience would have led him, in great de- gree to the same conclusions that I have now reached. Not Approved by Mr. Tracey. “There are, however, certain recommen- dations made by Superintendent Warner re- |garding plans of benevolent and correc- Uonal administration, not yet initiated, which do not feel myself at liberty to adopt. It is therefore requested that as to new works, or future administrative manage- ment of public charities, or the creation of new boards, or the extension of the juris- diction of this office, or of any other, the present superintendent of charities be not regarded as concurring in suggestions made before his term, except in so far as may be specifically set forth by him. By way of illustrating this reservation and indicating why it is deemed necessary, reference is made to the recommendation of the super- int report of last year for the ef @ ‘national bureau ers of charities for the District of Columbia. The project for the establishment of a fed- eral bureau I do not regard as one within my province to entertain or suggest. The institutions of benevolence and of reform- atory vas aes the District of Co- lumbia are ble in the charitable and humanitarian spirit that has inspired them, in the benevolence that has richiy endowed good works which they have placed among the principal objects of their lives. At the same time, there have been incongruities and defects in the direction of these excel- lent institutions, public, private and of mixed support, through concurrent per- sonal benevolence and government aid, which called for the establishment of the office of the superintendent of charities, and for the wise provision that the incum- bent thereof should be a person entirely dis- Interested as between institutional, corpo- rate and other local interests. The field is wide, the labor great, and the material, well as the moral end to be attained, very important to the public welfare. It is sub- mitted that this task, as defined by the act of August 6, 1890, is a clearly specified one, of great consequence, not only to the fed- eral capital, but indirectly also to the coun- try, which naturally looks for model man- agement of public institutions to those at ‘and near Washington, directed by officers of the United States, under the immediate su- pervision of the heads of the federal depart- ments, the Congress and its committees. To attempt to magnify or to merge the functions instituted by this needei ‘cal statute into those of a ‘national bureau’ would, it is respectfully submitted, tend to confuse the difficult and delicate duties of this office, and to prevent or retard the local administrative reforms contemplated |by the law creating the superintendency. | An Unnecessary Board. Careful and impartial consideration of | the field and jts "peculiarities also induces | the conclusion that the creation of a board | of commissioners of charities for the Dis- trict is unnecessary and would be detri- mental. Experience led to the abolition of various boards which were formerly instru- mentalities in the management of the affairs of this District, and to the concentration of local departmental authority under the direction of one commission. For the super- vision of charities one official is enough, provided his office be supplied with ade- quate means for doing ordinary clerical work, checking errors and correcting de- fects disclosed. ° The superintendent of charities is, by virtue of his office, associated with more than twenty managing boards, in addi- tion to the board of children’s guardians, with which he has special and veculiar statutory relations. To divide his functions among several persons would only create | confusion, entail unnecessary expense and prevent prompt and effective reformation in administration. There are already con- {nected with the District charities a suffi- |clent number of boards. What is needed in this line is simplitication, not further com- plication. A superintendent, a presidential appointee, chosen with the concurrence of the Senate, should be able to conduct suc- | cesstully tne work now assigned to him by | law, without the retarding restraint of a/| |number of colleagues. The machinery of | | the District government and the Loard cf | | Commissioners provides all that @ superin- tendent can require or desine, in tne way of | administrative machinery, aside from that of his own office. In the recommendation ‘for appropriations all that is asked for the | superintendent's office for the coming year | is a small allowance for a stenographic clerk and accountant, and for absolutely | necessary contingent expenses. I find this office without any such provision, and it has been necessary for me to employ assistance at personal expense. On this subject reter- ence is made to a letter, hereto appended, addressed to the Commissioners of the Li | trict of Columola on October 19, 1x93. on us is therein requested, | objec without the ditional gov officials ai 1 respectt ut stly paraphernalia of an a board, with its -orps id subordinates.

It is with a view to making the recom- mendations for legislation at the coming session of Congress as sound and complete as practicable, while recommending nothing for immediate enactment not based upon experience, that this report has been de- layed until a late date, in order that obser- vation of peculiar local conditions might correct, supplement or supplant theoretical views, however strongly advocated by oth- ers, or entertained by the reporting officer. The conditions of charities and corrections existing in the District of Columbia are not paralleled anywhere else in this country, or in the world. In the mixture of local and general contribution, in the participation, to an uncommon degree, of the creations of private benevolence, in the benefits of public appropriations attendant upon the dual con- trol of federal and loca! government, and in the natural tendency of theorists to seek trial of cherished projects in the capital city of a great country, lie the causes of Wash- Ington’s peculiar characteristics as a center of charitable and correctional effort. Ac- cording to many experts of varying views, it would be better if, in one way or another, the institutions of the District of Columbia were different as to their relations to the government and government aid. Some hold that the public should have nothing to do with establishments founded or directed by private citizens. Others are inclined to the view that these private, or quasi-private, institutions could be so utilized as to obvi- ate the necessity for much of the current public expenditure. The present superin- tendent of charities, while not unacquainted with the various theories on this subject, and long familiar with trial of them in the largest of American cities, deems it his duty to lay aside all theoretical partialities, and, at least in the first instance and for some time to come, to deal with the institutions of Washington as he has found them, with a view to securing from them the greatest possible amount of good at the least prac- ticable cost. Opposed to New Institutions. There are now pending a number of prop- ositions for the creation of new charitable institutions through support from public funds. To all of these I am opposed, for the reason that the means which would be de- voted to them could be better used by ap- plication to existing institutions. To use what we have well and wisely seems to be the full and sufficient duty of the time. To Mlustrate this, there are hospital and @is- pensary buildings within the District having capacity for the doing, on the same prem- ises, of more work, and that of a character often urgently needed, than can be done in the establishments as now equipped. Some of these hospital structures have rooms ap- Propriate for wards which are not fitted for occupancy. At the time of the disaster at the Ford's Theater building this defect was realized, and it was necessary to make sudden transfer of appliances for caring for the injured from one institution to another, in order to cope with the exigency. It is in this view that recommendations for ad- ditions to some existing establishments, without involving new and expensive build- ings, have been covered in the schedule of appropriations submitted, while in no case has the reqhest been made for money for the founding or erection of any new institu- tion. This applies to establishments main- tained wholly at public cost, as well as to those only partly sustained by allotments from public fund: Instead of increasing the number of instt- tutions drawing support, through the appro- priation acts, from the treasury, a decrease has been effected in accordance with the general views on that subject entertained by my predecessor, as well as by myself. The National Temperance Home, which at one time received $2,000 annually, hag been discontinued, as also has the Home for Friendless Colored Girls of the Women's Union Christian Association, which received $1,000. The Hope and Help Mission, which has done much good work, has received a small allotment from the District fund for the relief of the poor, instead of the former appropriation of $1,000. The apportionment of this relief fund ts shown by my letter of recommendation and the minute of ac- tion by the board of Commissioners of the District in accordance therewith, which are herewith transmitted. The Home for Friend- less Colored Girls was a very small estab- Ushment, the work of which comes within the province of the excellent Nation- al Association for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women and Children. Examination of other aided institutions, with a view to effecting economy without withdrawing aid absolutely required, and well used, has failed to convince me that further curtatl- ment could be made with propriety or to advantage. With the modifications above mentioned and with those relating to the operations of the board of children’s guardians and of children’s institutions, hereinafter moted and explained, the rule has been adopted, and followed of keeping the schedule of appropriations for the next fiscal year down to the limit of allowances for ex- penditures of the current year. Whatever change there ts has resulted from th natural and necessary growth of charitable demands and from the unavoidable opera- tion of laws enacted and of administrative measures adopted before the appointment of the present superintendent. Prices for ites. The government contributes so largely to the suport of private charitable insti- tutions in the District of Columbia that it undoubtedly has the right to regulate their expenditures, so as to enforee econ- omy and prevent waste, as a condition of continued public aid. To devise and en- force the system to effect this purpose ts a duty devolving upon the superintendent of charities. The need for the immediate institution of such a system is urgent, and the evils to be corrected are so prevalent that separate and occasional efforts to rem- (Continued on Twelfth Page)
