Poverty e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The present edition is substantially the same as the first. A few additional questions have, however, been dealt with. In response to suggestions made to the writer, information is given (pp. 375-383) regarding the probable effect of Old Age Pensions upon poverty in York. On pp. 384-387 an Abstract Statement of the York City Accounts is given, showing under a few main heads the sources of income and items of expenditure, and the percentage which each of these bears to the total income and expenditure of the City.
