FAMILIES
ARE in NEED
Wives and Mothers OF
Soldiers Ask Aid.
ALL DESERVING OF 1T.
Gov. Dyer Calls on Relief Ass0cia-
ti0n in Their B hllf.
ALL DESERVING OF 1T.
PLENTY OF FUNDS AT COMMAND

Gov. Dyer this morning called the
attention of the Rhode Island Sanitary
and Relief Association 10 the fact that
there are several worthy women in this
city. Pawtucket and Woonsocket, wives
and mothers OF volunteers now in the
First Rhode Island Regiment. who are
unable TO pay the rent of their homes
and who desire some temporary relief
until their husbands and sons can send
them money or are mustered out of
the service. The governor has looked
into these applications and found them
to be all bona fide.
The managers of the Sanitary and
Relief Association, however, appear to
think that in giving relief in some of
these cases in would be encouraging
pauperism, but Gov. Dyer argued that
IL was not encouraging pauperism
when their husbands and sons enlisted
TO fight for their country, in many
cases giving up good positions to do so.
The association has plenty of funds,
and the argument is made that IL would
be better TO give more help to Rhode
Island soldiers and their dependents,
than To expend the bulk of the money
upon soldiers from other states and
upon the regulars. who In nearly every
case have no outside claims upon them.
The outcome of the affair is that Gov.
Dyer has notified the Sanitary and Re-
lief Association that III it will not give
these women NE aid that they posi-
lively need and are entitled to. he will
do so. with the assistance OF the mayors
OF the several cities in which the appli-
cants reside.

MONEY FOR INTEREST PROVIDED

The common council met this noon,
cided again not TO concur in the amend
ment to the annual appropriation bill
providing for an increase in the appro-
priaticn for the building. cleaning and
repair Of highways. More than one
member of the common council was
anxious for the appointment of a COM
mfttee of conference, but President pro
TEN. Angel suggested that the board
of aldermen was the party to take the
first step towards a conference.
Clerk Hayden read the rules Of the
national house OF representatives,
which upheld the view of the subject
taken by President Angel.
Councilman West of Ward 10 wanted
To know what the rules of the national
house of representatives had to do with
the common council of the city of
Providence.
Councilman Sheahan of Ward told
what standing the rule read had in all
parliamentary bodies. and made a plea
for dignified action on the part OF the
council
Mr.. West said what he sought was
dignified action and independence. He
saw nothing wrong in suggesting con-
ference. and made a motion with the
intention of carrying out his sugges-
tion.
There promised TO be several hours
discussion. when Councilman Peterson
moved To lay Mr.. Vests motion on the
table, and that disposition was made of
it by a close vote.
