BRITISH BENEVOLENT SOCIETY OF CALI- FORNIA .- Rooms, No. 730 Montgomery Street.


This society was organized in 1865, for the purpose of affording relief to sick and destitute members and persons who were subjects of Great Britain at the time of their birth, and of promoting the social and intellectual improvement of its members. Between twelve and thirteen hundred men have been admit- ted to membership, and there are now some two hundred and sixty paying members, including thir- teen life members on the rolls. In May, 1867, the as- sociation was completely reorganized and incorpor- ated, and a constitution adopted, containing several admirable features, and, among others, provisions for free lectures, debates, and social concerts. From the time of its formation the affairs of the society have been carefully and judiciously managed, and its charity dispensed with prudent liberality. It has uniformly cooperated with the San Francisco Benev- olent Association, St. Andrew's Society, and other societies, and through its agency their burden has been greatly lightened, many hundreds of sick and destitute men, women, and children, effectively re- lieved, and a large number provided for with om- ployment. The relief given is, for the most part, temporary; and, at present, under the new system adopted by the Board of Relief, averages $5.26 per case. During the year ending April 30, 1883, the smallest number of applications for any one month was ninety-six, and the smallest amount expended $161.80; the largest number of applications during the same period was two hundred and sixty-one, for the month of July, involving an expenditure of $311.20. For the year terminating April 30, 1873, the total number of persons assisted was eight hundred and twenty-nine, and the total amount expended $4,367.63. The introduction of various literary and social features, and the opening of a correspondence throughout this and the adjoining States and Terri- tories, it is confidently expected, will largely add to the usefulness of the institution, which has already attracted the marked admiration of the people of San Francisco. The Board of Relief is in attendance daily from ten o'clock A.M. to one o'clock P.M. The regular meeting is held on the first Monday evening of each month, at eight o'clock.

GERMAN GENERAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY OF SAN FRANCISCO (styled in German, Die All- gemeine Deutsche Unuerstuetzungs, Gesellschaft) .- Is one of the largest and most efficient charitable in- stitutions in this State. It was organized on the sev- enth of January, 1854, with one hundred and five members, and has rapidly increased, until now it numbers two thousand, one hundred and thirty-one city members, and two hundred and ten in the inte- rior.


Only Germans and persons speaking German are admitted to membership. The chief purpose of the association is mutual assistance in case of sickness, and when sick every member has a right to demand support and medical attendance from the society. The society has a second purpose of doing charity to Germans not members of the association, and espe- cially to German immigrants newly arrived. The society has a hospital situated on Brannan Street near Third, built of brick, two stories high, with a basement, one hundred and twelve and one half feet front, fifty feet deep, with a wing in the rear of twon- ty-three feet front, two hundred and twelve feet deep, furnished with steam, sulphur, hot and cold water, and shower baths, and other conveniences for the treatment of the sick. The wards are smaller than any other hospital in the city, so that not many pa- tients are put together in a room. The lot upon which the hospital is built is one hundred and thirty-seven feet six inches wide by two hundred and seventy-five feet long, the whole surrounded by a high fence and cultivated in a fine garden, a part planted with orna- mental flowers and shrubs, and a part with kitchen vegetables. The property of the society, including the lot and hospital buildings, is worth about $60,000, and a lot recently purchased, bounded by Sanchez, Noe, Dale, and Vale streets, valued at $12,000. The revenue of the society amounted, in 1873, to $32,150.00,


lar levied on each member. The expenses of the same year amounted to $31,300.05.


The office is at 732 Washington Street, where the principal agent, Julius Barckhausen, can be found from eight o'clock A.M. to five o'clock P.M., on week days. All applications for admission into the society, or for charitable relief, and to furnish employment or servants to applicants, should be addressed to the agent. No charge for application.
