The finance committee met at o'clock,
Chairman Dalton presiding. A score of
women were present at the opening of the
meeting, and numbers arrived during the
session. Among them were six from the
New Woman's Club, three from the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
and others representing different organi-
cations. Among those present were
Nine. L. a. Sorbier, Mrs. E. G. Sargent,
Mrs. Nellie Blessing Eyster, Mrs. John
Knell, Mrs. Colonel Hunter, Mrs. S. A.
O'Neil, Mrs. Colonel Bullock, Mrs. L. G.
Fraser, Mrs. May l.. Harrison, Mrs. Clara
Joseph. Mrs. Mabel V. Osborne, Mrs. Rose
NJ. French, Mrs. D. J. Spencer, Mrs. NJ. J.
Foster, Mrs. A. Graham, Nine. B. Rum
sey, Mrs. R. Patterson, Mrs. Eva E. Bates,
Mrs. III. E. Brown and Mrs. Dennis.
Mrs. G. Murray of the San Francisco
Free Clinic suggested that the ladies could
assist the finance committee by soliciting
contributions of money from the stores
where they are accustomed to trade.
Nine. Sorbier proposed that the names
of the authorized lady collectors be pub
hshed to prevent fraud.
Mrs. Mabel Y. Osborne moved that one
woman from each womans club be APP
pointed to solicit subscriptions.
A good deal of opposition to female col
lectors generally developed. The ladies
who had attended former committee meet
lngs seemed to be out OF sympathy with
those who had, so to speak, Just come into
the fold, and the men of the committee
evidently preferred to keep the finances in
their own hands.
Mrs. Knell stated for the benefit of the
newcomers that at the previous meeting
1t had been decided that the part of the
work to be assigned to the women was the
caring for the children. She thought that
with that they would have their hands
full and wished to leave the matter of rails
ing the money entirely to the men.
Mrs. O'Neil and Mr.. Roos spoke in sup
port of that plan.
Mr.. Hammond suggested that the
women who did not object to collecting
volunteer for that duty.
Mrs. Osborne could see no objection to her
motion. The ladies had solicited for fairs
and so forth, and why not for the Fourth
of July celebration2 If they were to take
part at all they should take an active and
useful part. There was, however, no Sec
ond to her motion.
Brainerd n. Rowley moved that the
ladies be excused from collecting, but that
those who wished to collect be supplied
with receipt-book and credentials. This
compromise measure met with general
favor and was adopted.
The ladies from Alameda asked that the
Grand Army posts, the Loyal Legion and
the school-children of Alameda be invited
to Join in the celebration. 1t was in
formally decided that two or three men,
bers of the executive committee should
consider that matter and that the grand
marshal should send the invitation if it
was deemed advisable.
Mrs. Clara Joseph suggested that the
State Floral Society, of which she is
member, be requested to supply flowers
for the use of the committee. She was
delegated to present the request.
1t was moved by Henry Gellert that the
future meetings of the finance committee
be held in the evening, so that the con-
venience of the business men should be
consulted. The motion was carried, and
tomorrow evening at o'clock was fixed
as the time of the next meeting.
a recess was then taken till o'clock.
