Charity License Proposal Divides New York City
New York May 4 Charity workers in this city support a proposed ordinance by Louis J Wendel requiring charity entertainments to obtain a license and post a bond. The law aims to curb profit driven abuses by managers who take a percentage of gross receipts and to bring state control to incorporated charities, with city oversight until state action. It would require detailed expense listings and a visible statement of charitable allocation on ads and programs, plus an expenditure record with vouchers to be filed within 100 days of the event.

The journey resumes only when the hawk offers the desired sign, with certain birds and songs of greater importance guiding the omen.
