At the regular session of the Directors of the German Society, which took place yesterday, their agent, Oscar Kuehne, submitted the following monthly report:
The German Society during the past month assisted twenty-five families including fifty-six children and seventeen single persons. Among these were six families with 12 children and 13 single persons who received charity for the first time.
A total of 342 workers found employment through our agency during the past month. This represents a saving of $684.00 which would have been paid by the workers to the Employment Agencies.
The amount of $86.05 was spent in cash, and $1.44 additional for meals and lodgings, which is a total of $87.49.
Annual subscriptions collected from members amounted to $641.50, and a special contribution of $12.50 increased the total to $654.00.
