AN EXCLUSIVE POOR FARM | No One Can Be Admitted or Assisted Except Those Who Once Pald Taxes. Providence, R. I, enjoys the use of | the most valuable poor farm owned by | any municipality in the world, all be- cause Ebenezer Knight Dexter in 182¢ made a bequest leaving a big, stone strewn meadow and several parcels of land for that purpose. Today the property 1s valued at no less than $1,000,000, and 18 in the center of one of the most fashionable residence dis- tricts of Providence. But while this 1s a poor farm, it is a very exclusive one, to say the least. By the terms of a very rigid and iron clad will, none can be admitted or assisted except those who once owned and pald taxes upon real estate In Providence or | whose father or mother was a real es- | tate taxpayer in that city. No other Rhode Islanders and no person from | any other part of the United States or from any foreign country may knock at the portal to obtain admit- tance and secure shelter and food.
