Their Reception.
COMMITTEE OF THREE HUNDRED

COMMITTEE OF THREE HUNDRED

After the adjournment of the War Re
lief Committee, last evening. Mayor Hoos
addressed the members and asked their
assistance in enabling Colonel Smith, who
was present, and himself to give to the
Fourth Regiment Volunteers, on its re-
turn home, a fitting reception. At the
Mayors request Colonel Smiths letter to
him, informing him of the action AXE
by the Board of Officers of the Fourth
Regiment, National Guard, was read. All
present at once joined with enthusiasm
in carrying hi the proposition it con-
tanned.
Colonel Smith stated that the Boar Of
Officers of his regiment had appointed
the field officers a committee to report
a plan for the reception, but it was not
intended to conine it to that committee.
He wanted the people to make the COM
mittee as long and as broad as they may
desire. The field officers are willing to
step aside at any time if it is thought
best to arrange differently. He did not
want the matter confined to the military
authorities, but desired all to participate.
Mr.. Cole said the people of Jersey City
owe it to the Fourth Regiment to give
it such a reception as no body had ever
received. His idea was that the regiment
should be received at the depot and from
there escorted to some suitable place
where the men could be b~anqueted and
made to feel that they have the thanks
of the people. 1t was not their fault
that they did not go to the front, they
enlisted to go there, showing they were
just as brave as those who happened to
be called upon to go.
At the request of Mayor Hoos it was
decided that all who a constituted the
War Relief Committee be organized as q
committee to aid the Mayor and Colonel
Smith in making the necessary arrange
ments for a proper reception TO the re-
turning regiment and also at the Mayors
request Hon. Frank o. Cole was appoint
ed Chairman and DIR. l.. ]. Gordon,
Treasurer.
AS soon as the appointment of a treas
urer was announced those present voiun-
tarily contributed towards starting a fund
and in a very few moment $40 was do
mated. Colonel Smith said that about
81. 900 will be required to meet the ex-
pense. Citizens will be asked by the COM
mittee to subscribe and all who do not
care to wait for the committee are re-
quested to send any contribution they may
wish to make to the treasurer, DR.. Cor
don. by whom it will be promptly ac-
knowledged.
Colonel Smith stated that he had adj
vices from the regiment, that the muster
ing out is now in progress and that 1t
might be expected to arrive in Jersey CITY
on the Sd of April.
~ --a4- .rAl -xpzronfnnSS of aR-
ton. The committee, he said, should be
called together as soon as possible and
work should be commenced.
1t was decided to have a meeting of the
committee in the Mayors office on Friday
evening, March II, and that as companies
of the regiment come from Hobeken and
Bayonne the Mayors of those cities be in
vited to attend the meeting n act with
the committee.
In order to make the proposed demon
stration as elaborate and grand as posi-
BILE Mayor Hoos added the following
citizens to the committee, believeing that
every one named will take a deep inter-
est in the matter and use his best efforts
to make the reception a memorable event
in the ANIMALS of his city
