Nassau Citizens Committee to Promote the Humane Care of Nassau County's Poor in a County Instititution

Frederick E. Willits lays out the facts regarding the present almshouse situation in Nassau County in an effort to drive voter engagement with the issue. Some men involved with real estate development wish to demolish Jones Institute, which has been taking care of the county’s indigent poor, but Willits maintains that the institution should in fact be renovated and further buildings should be constructed in order to adequately address the need. The issue will be on the ballot at an upcoming election, and Willits asks the members of the Nassau Citizens Committee to Promote the Humane Care of Nassau County’s Poor in a County Institution to share the facts with their neighbors and friends and encourage them to vote on the matter.
