were inspirational and helpful In char

ports from the various churches
showed that all the work Of the demon.

Five or six new churches had been
built, parsonages had been erected and
others remodelled. There had also
been a decided increase in the church e

other vote of thanks was given TO the

kindly leave them at the offices In

more practical methods than are

CITY COUNCIL IS
CONDEMNED BY ALL

The action Of the city council last
night in turning down the request
of Mayor Daggett that it appropri-
ate $4,000 for the destitute people
of San Francisco is today meeting
with much adverse criticism from
many leading citizens.
Expressions of sentiment in ef-
feet are that this was one case
of all others that should have met
with the approval of the council
men. 1t is no graft, but where one
brother was called upon to render
assistance to another through dire
necessity. 1t was no fault of the
people of San Francisco that such
a terrible calamity befell; it was
due to no lack Of attention on their
part nor carelessness of municipal
protection.
The proposition in th& first
place came from the city fathers.
According to them If the chamber
of commerce would officially make
the request the proposition to ap-
propriate the money would be put
through with little dissension. 1t
