Millionaire James Eads How Gives Public Fund Plan
James Eads How of St Louis, son of the famed bridge builder, plans to devote all future wealth to public welfare. He has already begun by gifting 2000 to a Community Benefit committee and will channel earnings from his estate into efforts that teach self reliance, such as education and uplift projects for the poor. He rejects unearned wealth and aims to turn property into public good rather than charity.
