The committee give information that the
EZartrt- House is oHen to carry all the OBJ
Jects OF the foregoing Votes into effect, and
will be continued open as long as tier
funds sfall enable them. And it is reQUcs-
ted that ali Donations Of Money, Provisions,

ket-House, where tvro of the Committee
will daily superintend the distribution Of
provisions, record the names, donors and
their donations, and attend to any other bu-
siness which may come within their COM
missions. 1t is further suggested by the
Committee that as many individuals are
supplied daily from private families with
cold provisions, which if sent to IL Market
House, would furnish relief Cor MANY more
than are really benefited by such assistance
It is an object Of Importance that such pr
yate relief be withheld and that all cold
provision, &c &c. be sent 10 the Market
House, where il will be an important OBJ
iect with The Committee that nothing shall
be wasted but that all should be used with
ECONOMY.
