The Alley Question.

The central relief committee will hold a
meeting this afternoon at o'clock at the
rooms of the board of trade to consider
ways and means for raising funds. AS
stated in The Star yesterday. the funds at
the disposal of the committee are at a
very low ebb, and 1T may be necessary to
iLaugurate a house-to-house canvass. This
proposition will be considered at the meet
ing today, but it will probably be adopted
only last resort.
Yesterday afternoon there was a confer
cree on the subject of alley dwellings in the
cff1ce of Surgeon General Sternberg be-
tween Health Officer Woodward, MIR. G. A.
Weber of the department of labor and the
subcommittee Of the central relief commit
tee having under consideration the ques-
tfon of providing proper sanitary dwellings
for the poor. The members of the COM
mittee present, besides the chairman, Cen
eral Sternberg, were Bishop Satteriee DR.
L. w. Ritchie. Judge G. c. Cole, Mr.. Simon
Wolf and Secretary George 8. Wilson.
The recent report of the Civic Center on
the subject was generally discussed and
commended. The cost of condemning prop
erty in the alleys of the city was con-
sdered, and a committee was appointed TO
call upon the District Commissioners TO
learn IL possible the amount of money in
the treasury Of the District available for
this purpose. in the event Of favorable leg
islation.
Other conferences will be held on the SUBJ
Jsct in the future. and 1t will be some time
before the committee is ready to make its
final report.
