The morning call., 1894-02-01
THE CITY'S POOR,
More Money Needed for
Their Relief.
Contributions Urgently Requested.
The Woman's Fund Committee
Invites Suggestions.

The number Of men who received a dollar
each from the treasurer OF the citizens relief
committee yesterday was 1864, and The tickets
OF 260 OF these were called in when the days
work was over in order to give an equal num-
Der this morning to men whose need is more
pressing.
The committee finds that there is much more
need OF relief than was at first suppos d, and
1t is earnestly hoped that any citizen who is
not himself In want WILL without delay, con-
tribute TO the fund according 10 his means.
Much good has already been done, but the ne
for further aid is painfully apparent to all con-
nected with the relief movement. Hundreds
of men are turned away from the committee
rooms daily because the funds on hand do not
warrant the employment Of larger number
than Is at present on the list; but the fact that
they all need work Is only TOO evident
Each member OF the committee received
communication yesterday as follows:
SAN Francisco. January 81. 1894
Dear Sir: deem it my duty to notify you that
the pressure for work Is greater than at any time
since the relief movement was inaugurated. 1t Is
absolutely necessary that every member OF The
committee should Immediately canvass his dis
trict. in order to secure funds Tor the prol onga
tion OF the relief work.
IL is apparent that there will be no decrease In
the demand for aid. and it Is also apparent that
the distress is much more pitIful than we at first
supposed.
If you deem it expedient. will you Kindly make a
second visit those In your district who have al
subscribed?
the case that think IL would be proper to even
go outside of your district If there be any coin In
sight.
