Over $,56,000,000 New Capital Added By Birmingham Corporations In 1923
BIRMINGHAM GAVE NEARLY
$3,000,000 DURING YEAR 1923
Generous Citizens Poured
Out Money By Hundreds Of
Thousands For Charities,
Philanthropy And Church
Work
Birmingham's philanthropy during
1923 amounterd to nearly $3,000,000, It
Is estimated by several experts who
have, been closely connected with a
number of the city's larger drives of
this kind.
So many drives and canvasses have
been conducted during the last year
and so far reaching are they that an
exact tabulation of net results in dol
lars and cents Is almost impossible,
they assert.
The known figures so closely ap
proximate the three millions that cal
culations of amounts which did not
reach official record would bring i
them up to this mark, they aver.
The city attained an almost in- j
credible height in eleemosynary
work; in the diversity of its aims and
movements, in the size of its sub- I
•criptions, and in the freedom and J
goodwill with which it gave a new
record was acquired.
