The RELIEF sFUND.-Some, changes
we're made at the meeting on Saturday by
which the pay of those claiming relief on
the ground of partial support is reduced
to one payment month The pay of
those who have received relief for IL weeks
has also been reduced from 80 to 40 per
cent, and all others will come under the
same rule as soon as that time expires
This class of orders will probably be issued
every other week hereafter. As the relief
fund is not designed for those who are not
in need, taxpayers and all others are re-
Quested to exercise caution in signing rec
concentrations of applicants, as there is
good reason to believe that several cases Of
gross imposition have been practiced
