naming unexpended in the hands of any agent
was fraction over two hundred dollars while one

poor have been great, that this amount has
nearly all been distributed, although the month
hoc half rod .n
have been called on for assistance by many per-
sons who in former years, were liberal contributors
to the Poor Fund.
They have entered the homes of honest, industri-
Gus mechanics, who never knew what want was
before, and have found the families destitute of
food and coal. Nothing to eat and no fire to warm
their trembling little ones Those who were poor
last year are doubly poor now, and the want of
employment has added thousands to The number
On hearing this statement Mr.. d. Carter moved
that an additional $500 be appropriated to the
first and second districts each. Mr.. Crichton said
that, If the funds in the treasury, he was in
favor Of increasing the appropriation to the last
dollar. Mr.. j. Hunt suggested that money would
be needed for the summer months and it would not
be prudent to exhaust the funds.
MIR. Crchton said that the summer should take
care OF ITSELF 1t might be too late to appropriate
a month hence. The people would die of starvation
before that time. Let the last dollar in the treasury
be appropriated and then let the Association 90 be-
tore the public demanding relief. There would be

means, if did its duty, trusting in Him who has
declared that they whoTrust with faith shall not be
disappointed.
Mr.. Crichton amended the resolution increasing
the appropriation to 5000 to each of the districts
named, and thus amended passed. The subject of
the April appropriation was taken up, but there
were no funds to appropriate. 1t was determined
that the appeal directed should be made to the
