HINCKIRY. Mimi, Sept. 10. - The
members ct the state relief commission
when they set out for Hinckley last
evening expected to find dissatisfaction
with its relief work. but none OF them
we've prepared for the criticisms that
greeted them everywhere. 1t was sup
posed that the complaints referred to IN
press dispatches were but the mutter-
ings or the discontinued and ungrateful,
who expect 10 luXuriate i'll plenty of
food supplies and cash.
Ii was found, however. that most
serious dissatisfaction prevailed among
the men who before the fire were the
leading men in e community. In a
nutshell. these men complain that the
commission has been slow in its relief
measures. that its servants are incom-
petent 10 discharge their duties and
ignore the advice of the local people,
and hence parliality was shown; that
the men in charge, and even the cOm-
mission, treated the people as If they
were paupers.
The members of the commissioner.
A. Pilsbury, c. II. Graves, Kenneth
Clark ana NJ. q. Norton-arrived at
Hinckley about o'clock this morning
In a private car. All were up with the
sun,and went out on the deSolate streets
OF the stricken city. They found crowds
of men discussing matters, and learned
that local building committee, consist

had been elected by the freeholders of
Hlnckley to look after matters affecting
the future welfare OF the city. 1t was
soon found that it would be necessary
to hold a meeting, in order that tie
commission could get In a crystallized
form the burden of the discoEtentment.
Pine City, but the feeling was strong
that something in the line OF action
should be taken at once.
President PlllSbury thereupon called
upon his colleagues and the citizens Of
Hinckley TO assemble in one of the
larger OF the temporary sheds. The room
was filled in few moments, as the
whole population took a lively interest
in The work of the commission. Mr..
Pilsbury stated tCat the main object of
the commission was to attend to the
immaculate waits of the sufferers and
keep all from suffering. 1t NaS not the
Intention 10 make improvements for the
benefit of the holders of mortgages. who
might lake the property after the inn
provements had been made. The COM
mission had Investigated carefully. and,
Willie it might seem that progress had
been slow. the preliminaries had now
all been made and everything would
from now on move rapidly.
Tie Hlucklcyites were not slow to
respond 10 the Invitations to make Sug.
gesuons or criticisms. 1t was stated
that the local committee had been ig-
nured entirely by Messrs. Marchant and
TO feel hurt, as they were as willing to
tender help as were the men who had
been placed III charge. One man made
the Charge that Secretary Hart had told
settler that he could have lumber for
a shed. which lie could divide in two
rooms, one tor his stock ana one for his
amily.
When Secretary Hart arrived. he de.
MED, of course, that he had given any
such orders, but explained that the set
tier, MIR. WenZ, had come to him for
LUMBER for house and barn. MIR. Hart
had no right to issue lumber for barns,
but told him that he would give him a
certain GU nifty of lumber and he could
use 1t as he saw fit. The citizens of
Hinckley are determined to stay, and
insist that the village will grow larger
than ever, whether the big saw mill is
rebuilt or not. In fact. the residents
don't want the mill rebuilt on it's former
large scale, as they want the city to he
known, not as temporary lumber
town, but as farming town, which
would insure it more permanency.
They retain their manhood. pride and
zeal. have plenty OF push, energy and
start.
