Begging Trade Cleaned Up by Vernon Business Leaders
Vernon chamber of commerce directors moved funds to aid worthy charity cases while exposing professional beggars who travel town to town. A beggar detailed earnings of 25 to 60 dollars daily and up to 158 dollars in a day. Directors urged sending known beggars to the chamber for investigation and aid, and discussed forming a builders protective association to save costs. A complete Vernon directory was requested, and Holcomb Training School plans were presented for expansion.
