the State Treasurer for 81. 600, 600 with

Legislature met the money withdrawn
from The treasury could be appropriated.

scribed should be used entirely for the re.
lief Of the sufferers and the money from
the State Treasurer be used for restoring
the vicinity to its condition before the
food. All debts already contracted
for the removal Of debris should be
paid. but all money paid out for this pur.
pose from the relief fund should be re.
funded. so that every cent subscribed tor

used for that purpose alone. The Gov.
