At a meeting of the Citizens Relief
Committee yesterday the following re-
port was adopted:
We, as a committee to whom was re-
ferred for Investigation of establishing
soup house in the southern portion OF
the city of Memphis, would respectfully
state and report we have selected the
vacant building No l47 Beal street, at
the price for rent of $500 twenty dollars
per month. After thoroughly investigat-
ing the requirements and necessities OF
establishing said soup house, we think 1t
will cost for fitting up the same from two
hundred to three hundred dollars. We
also report, in our opinion, the necessity
exists for establishing said soup house
for the benefit OF all classes Of our citi
zens who are destitute and will require
aid for weeks to come.
Respectfully submitted,
