Mrs. Clark moved that the visitors in each
district be required to make a report of work,
ETC., at each quarterly meeting. Carried.
Secretary Chase was called upon for re-
port OF the present financial status of the
society. He responded by stating that the
condition was pretty we'll known. The ap-
p]ications far exceeded the means to afford
relief. In this connection he stated that the
applicants far outnumbered those seeking
relief at any other season, and were daily in
| creasing. He had this to say in their favor:
all were apparently urgent in appeals for
work He thought tramps had about played
out. In view of this state of affairs. the sec
rotary urged all district visitors to self-con-
stitute themselves as committees to solicit
aid within their respective districts This
aid would be gratefully received, either in
the shape of money-much needea-or sup
plies.
After some further informal talk over mi
nor details Of the working OF the society, tbs
meeting adjourned.
