CALLY WITHOUT FUNDS.
Urgent Appeal Made for Additional
Contributions-Ackn
Made of Donations.

The executive committee of the Citizens
Relief Association audited relief bills yes
| terday amounting to $1,S9S4f. This large
amount covers only December and part
of January and the secretary reported that
the contributions received by the Citizens
Relief Association this year would not be
sufficient to meet the bills for the balance
of January and the month OF February
unless additional contributions can be Sc
cured promptly. The cold weather began
so early this year and has been continued
with SO little interruption that the agents
have been obliged to disburse an unusually
large amount of fuel, food and other relief
supplies. But although the need for contri-
buttons has thus been greater TINS year
than it was last season. the number ana
amount of subscriptions received by the
Citizens Relief Association is much less
this year than in any previous year IN
long time past
