Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va, December —A central almshouse large enough to care for indigents of 10 counties and the city of Alexandria. which comprise the eighth congressional dis trict, would cost $50,000 and an addi tional $5.000 for working capital, in the opinfon of W. A. Smoot, chairman of the committee appointed some weeks ago to Investigate. In a letter to the supervisors of the countles concerned Mr. Smoot says that the plan appears to be practicable and undoubtedly would be a great savinz to the community and at the same time would provide better accommo. dation. “In my -opinfon,” he savs. “the plan will remove the entire prob lem from any possible political irflu- ence and put it squarely on a busi ress basis at a saving to the com- munities. 1t will furnish also care and treatment for the sick and help- less. which cannot possibly be giver in the smaller units under the present plan.” It is recommended that the site should be large enough for orchards, | gardens and dairies, and selected b a majority vote of the representatives from each county concerned. It is the belief of the committec that the annual cost per person under the new plan would not exceed $250 for the firat yvear, as compared with practi- $500 under the present plan The report will be considered at meet. ings of supervisors in the several counties and a definite decision reach- ed at a meeting of all the supervisors concerned. to be held in Alexandria January 20 next out by Col.
