Book Description

Excerpt from Locomotive Engineers and Firemen's Monthly Journal, Vol. 1: February, 1888 The letters which have appeared in the Journal about the Orphan Fund have all been in favour of adopting that proposal, which is a credit to the humane promptings of the writers but this, like every other financial matter, must be dealt with in a business-like manner, and G. W. Men know that the widow's allowance is a very heavy expense, indeed, in twenty-three years we have 186 widows, costing per annum; so you see you must be careful how this matter is arranged, or the Society may lose membership on account of being such an expensive affair. More particulars can be given on this subject if asked for, and we hope our executive will not adopt this suggestion until a delegate meeting takes place.
