Corrections 77-82 INTRODUCTION So far as the writer can learn, this Directory gives a more or less full account of every organized charity in San Francisco, as well as those outside of the city where residents may be re- lieved (*), with the exceptionof seventy-five of the churches (t), concerning whose charity work it was impossible to obtain any data. No pains were spared in getting at the facts. Guess work was not indulged in, but a patient siege was laid, if necessary, to every institution and society, until it yielded the desired statistics, (t) There has been, of course, no going behind the returns, since the writer held no official position which would give him the liberty of investigating ; the figures, therefore, are only as reliable as the annual reports, with which they were compared whenever possible. STATISTICS There are at present 204 charitable agencies that relieve the needy of San Francisco. During the year 1893 (ff) they ex- pended, exclusive of receipts from beneficiaries, 81,380,509.86. It should be borne in mind that this does not give an adequate idea of the benevolent work of the city, for, as before stated, no account of the local benevolence of seventy -five (||) of the churches was obtained, and it does not include, of course, an estimate of the amount given privately, a form of charity un- usually common in San Francisco. The above figures are based entirely on the statistics in the body of this book, excepting that in several instances the facts were obtained only on con- dition that they appear, if at all, in the total amount. (**) Fol- lowing are the summaries by departments. {^') The five State Insane Asylums, the two State Reform Schools, the State Home for Feeble Minded, the two State Schools for the Blind, the National Soldiers' Home, the State Veterans' Home, Fred Finch Orplian- ag^e. Bishop Armitage Church Orphanage, and St. Vincent Orphan Asylum, (f) Some of the 7-5 probably give nothing in relief. (J) Mutual benefit societies are omitted, as being a form of insurance rather than charity. (ft) The statistics are made up from the report of the last year attain- able. Reference to the body of the work will show that only a part of the charitable agencies ended their year Dec. 31, 1893. Some had not existed a full year, and figures were given as late as possible. (||) These probably dispense 8-30,000 more, for they include some of the largest churches of the city. (''"'■) The manager of one institution declined to have a financial stateuient published in anj' other way, "because," he said, "it would not make a good showing."

This has been done because there are often discrepancies between the two accounts, owing to the fact that the city is unable to pay all bills for the current year. Of course, all bills audited must be paid sometime. In the case of hospitals, I have deducted from the total expenditures the amount received from pay- patients, and in the case of dispensaries, the amount received for medicines. No account is taken of the value of medical advice, which is always free, but only of medicines given away, rent of office, etc. While I have given a full account of the five insane asylums of the State, I have included in this summary only the amount expended in the care of those that were received from San Francisco.

The sum total, then, represents not only the money actually given to the needy, but also the cost of giving it. The seventy- five churches that did not report probably expended over $30,000 more. ■^■There is properly no official out-door relief in Sau Francisco. Two sums g:o to make up the total given — the Robinson Bequest Fund, dis- bursed by the mayor ($2,395.80), and the $5,000 annually received from the Police Fund (See Consolidation Act, Supplement XLVI. April I. 1870, Sec. 1), which is distributed by the San Francisco Benevolent Society. INSTITDTIONAL REWEF Institutions. Private. City. State. Nation. Total.

In all instances this was slight, and doubtless every year will call for as large an outlay. For the three asylums outside the city, the cost of maintaining the children received from San Francisco only, is included. The amount against co-operative homes is small, because it represents only what was actually not paid for by the beneficiaries. PREVENTATIVE AND RESCUE WORK Institutions. No. Inmates.

Against schools is placed only the sum which it cost the State to maintain and educate pupils from San Francisco. No figures are given for the St. Francis Technical School, since I The Magdalen Asylum. that institution is selfrsupporting. Museums are also omitted from this summary, for the reason that it was impossible to es- timate the extra expense to the societies maintaining them above what it costs to have them open for the inspection of their own members.

The city of Baltimore, with 100,000 more in- habitants, expended in 1892 about $50,000 less.J While not much value is to be placed upon this comparison, since the figures for Baltimore are an estimate based upon a partial can- vass, and it is not likely that the cost of caring for dependents in institutions outside of the city are included, and while some allowance is to be made for the greater demands upon all charitable institutions in the latter part of 1893, still, the cost of relieving the poor in San Francisco is undoubtedly more in proportion than in any other young and prosperous city. I want everyone who consults this little book to appreciate with me the sympathy and helpfulness of Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Weaver, Superintendent and matron of the City and County Almshouse ; the many kindnesses of Mr. J. G. Chown of the Christian Union Mission ; the hearty co-operation of Father Montgomery (now Bishop Montgomery) without whose aid I would not have been able to include the Catholic Charities ; and especially the generosity of Mr. Timothy Hopkins, through whose assistance this work is given to the public.
