To put Galveston on her feet will

from it. Mr.. Hawley does not so in

What measure of relief will burn your
dead. clean and purify your streets
and public places. feed and clOthe the
living. and place your people where
they can be self-sustaining and on the
way to regain what has been lost?"
His reply was: 1t Will take $1,000
coo 10 relieve Galveston from the dis
tress of the storm. At least that sum
will be needed to dispose of the dead,
to remove the ruins. and to do what
is right for the living ! think that we
ought to have some means to help
people who have lost everything TO
make a start toward the restoration
of their homes. To do this will require
every dollar of $4,000 900" Twenty
thousand survivors Of the Galveston
