This is because of the city’s decreasing resident population. The distribution is according to the bequest of Signor Pasquale Favale, made in 1882. Favale, an Italian, went to London, became rich and married a London girl. As a tribute to his wife, he left $3,500, to be dis- tributed annually in sums of $60 each as marriage bounties to three City of London girls between the ages of 16 and 25. The money was allowed to accumulate until 1914, when the charity was first distributed. Alto- gether 139 girls have applied, and 66 of them have received their $60.
