An Echo.

"A Bu,lerite" writing to one of ON
dailies says that
1t is generally understood thai sew
eral Thousand dollars of the relief fund
was unexpended and that between' two
and three thousand dollars was in the
hands Of Buffers mayor when distrlbu-
ton ceased 1t wonla be imprAnticlb!e
10 return this money to the donors and
the natural disposition seems to be that
the considerable sum in hand should be
stated end then expended in suitable
way.
The money was given for tie use OF
typhoid sufferers who were unable tC
bear the heavy expenses of their Illness
aud has been suggested that it would
be emiGently fitting if the money stil
unexpepded should be used 70 defray
expenses Of poor people who are affiict-
ted with typhoid fever.
No one will ask that the names OF
families assisted during the epidemic
should be made public. but the mum
ber Of families and the average amount
paid to each, can be stated | an
among those who paid in money to the
fund Just before distribution ceased
and have reason to believe that my
contribution il still lying unused, anc
l, with many other contributors, woulc
be pleased to see this fund properly
audited and the balance put 10 some
immediate and practical use."
We think the sentiment of the town
would tarn that fund over to the Hos
pital.
