viated by the Unemployed
Organic alton.

4 few technical details alone prevent the
immediate commencement of the work on
the projected boulevard to In gleside. Chief
Engineer SchussIer OF the Spring Valley
Water Works yesterday informed the
executive committee that the necessary
surveys of the company's right of way had
been completed, and that the deeds would
be ready for the City's acceptance this
morning. The grades for ex-Mayor Sutro's
right OF way, however, have not yet been
prepared, but when that Is done at least
600 men can be put TO work almost i'm
mediately, provided. of course, the dimen-
slons of the relief fund warrant such
action.
The finance committee appointed by
Chairman w. NJ. Bunker of the general
relief committee 10 devise ways and
means for the relief of the unemployed

and prepared provisional list of district
and special committees for publication.
The members present. were: A. S. Bald
win, chairman; J. c. Johnson, w. NJ.
Bunker l.. r. Eller., Louis Sloss Jr. and
the Sc cretary, Charles Fay.
Chairman Leffingwell of the unem-
ployed organization interviewed the COM
mittee prior to its regular session, but
proposed no alternative plan for its adop-
tion. He merely wished to assure the
mem bers of the real necessity at present
existing throughout the City, and the
need more especially OF affording imme-
diate relief TO destitute families.
The committee then continued the work
of drafting the list of special and district
com mit.ees. and finally gave the follow
ing names for publication, with the un-
derstanding that the list is provisional
and subject to subsequent modification if
deemed advisable:

1t will be seen from the foregoing that
| the City has been so districted as TO facili-
| tate the subscription canvass of the differ
ent committees and that the gentlemen
| appointed 20 act in each district are thor
| oughly representative and energetic in
| character. Claus Spreckels was named to
act as chairman of a committee at large,
| Dut, as previously stated, these nom1na-
| tions are not final.
Every member Of the district and spe-
cial committees is authorized to collect
money subscriptions, which will all be
turned over to Daniel Meyer, the Pine
street banker, the treasurer OF the unem-
ployed fund.
The members of these committees are to
be individually notified of their appoint
ment at once, and it is expected that the
work of canvassing for subscriptions will
start to-day. Mr.. Bunker expressed him.
self yesterday as confident that as soon as
the people recognized that the relief COM
mittee was in earnest they would literally
respond to the appeal for assistance. The
money collected will be received by the
treasurer and paid out as occasion de-
mands, and subscriptions on paper,
though they will never be rejected, will
not be viewed with the same favor as spe.
Gle and cheek payments.
The executive com mittee, in the persons
of Messrs. l.. r. Ellert, III. J. Crocker, c.
w. McAfee, Lippmsn Sachs, Hugh Craig,
William M. Bunker and Cornelius O'Con-
nor met again yesterday afternoon in the
