Kitchener, Canada, June 27 (Special IMspstch to the lemocrat and Chronicle! The plan of Mnme county to make it possible for a man and wife to occupy t.he same apartment at the almshouse dining the remaining days of their lives erea'ed ismsiderahle interest here to-day when explained by George V. Webster, attorney of Monroe county, before the fourih annual meeting of the Association nf Managers of the Homes for Aged and Infirm of the IViminion of Canada.

Mr. Webster said that the Board of Supervisors of Monroe County has hit plan under consideration and tint it may lie worked out under the direction of William E. Porter, unperiiitendent of the poor. Mr. Webster addressed the convention on the operation of the poor law in Monroe county.

He was invited to make the principal address to-day because of Monroe eounly'a general standing for efficiency and thoroughness in tlje core of the poor. He explained that one of Uie problems confronting the poor authorities of Monroe county in the conduct of the almshouse is to help the inmates forget, in their declining years, their unfortunate position. Mr. Webster spoke in part as fn'lnws: "The people of the county of Monroe are he congratulated because the effi cienl and businesslike management of the Ibparttnent nf the Poor has caused such widespread attention that the people of Canada desire tu learn how the department is run. "The Poor Department of Monroe county is heing run with two main points in view First, to give the unfnrtttnate people who call upon the public for assistant the best and most tender care that can be given them under the circumstances in which they are placed.

Second, to give this care and attention in such manner that it will not he tut excessive burden to (her taxpayers of the county. 'Every public inspection department that has had occasion to visit Monroe county for years, or for the lust, few-years, has been unanimous in the opinion that the Poor Department affairs of Monroe county were conducted in AYst-class, efficient and businesslike manner, and yet the rate per week to the taxpayer for the past year was but $1.17 a person in the poorhouae and a week for the patients of the County lli.s- (Mllll. "Late years the demands on the County Hospital have been so great that considerable study has been given to the question of making this institution one of the highest efficiency. Plans are now under way to have a large corps of the surgeons and physicians in the county on the hospital staff. With this arrangement accomplished, the poor patients in the Monroe County Hospital will receive as goodcare and attention as any patient in the hospitals of Rochester, regardless of their financial or social position.

"In these days when there are so many charitable institutions and agencies that are available to the benefit and Use of the poor, great care has to be taken that the Puor Department and other poor agencies are not imposed upon hy the so-called "professional poor." By the "professional poor" 1 mean that class of people who are unwilling to do any work, who seem to have lost their self-respect, and whose chief desire is to get something for nothing, and to live at the epense of (he public. These Jwople be-come so well acquainted with the ordinary methods of investigation that they pass an examination list per and the rapid growth of the people of this kind has made it necessary for much greater rare in the investigation of the canes which come before the Poor Department. "The investigators of the Poor Iepart-nient to-day are highly trained in their vocation, and great care has be exercised by them to see that the worthy cases are not thrown down and the unworthy rases given assistance. The Poor Department of Monroe county has been, very fortunate in its corps of investigators, and has been given very loyal assistance from many of the various charitable institutions in the city of Rochester. I think 1 can justly claim that there is fully as good, if not better, co-operation among all of the charitable agencies of the city ij Rochester, both public and sectarian, than in any other city of the Vnited States.

It is only with such eo- eperatiou that onr Poor Ilepartment can reach the high grade of efficiency that it has. "there has been considerable discussion in the Board of Supervisors of Monroe county for several years past as to the advisability of arranging conditions so at the 'Almshouse that a man and his wife who are inmates of the institution, can occupy the same apartment and spend the remaining days of their lives together. I would like very much to have thi matter discussed at your discussion this morning. "Another great problem of the Poor Department in the conduct of an almshouse is boinaj able to help the inmates forget, in the lust, days of their lives, their unfortunate position. To do.

this successfully require constant thought and diplomacy of the highest degree, com- i bined with a deep and unselfish love for one's fellnwmen. Careful study has i shown that many of these people are not in any way to blame for their condition, and to be successful in handling all these people, one must always remember that the uncertainties of life are handled by a greater hand than that of man."
