There was no meeting of the state
board of California relief at the COVER
nor's Office this morning as it was de-
cided at the meeting held yesterday
morning that there would be no more
meetings held until something of unus-
ual Importance transpires or until the
committee is ready to close it's affairs.
Arrangements have been made so that
the committee can be called together
on snort notice in case it is necessary
for them to take official action of any
kind.
Contributions are coming in from
over the state but not as rapidly as dur
ing the previous days. Many towns
are reporting the work they have done
and the number of carloads Of food
stuff they have already shipped but
the donations have not ceased by any
means.

keeper are busy most of the time with
the contributions which are arriving
by every mail. The donations received
up to 8 o'clock yesterday morning
amounted to 81, 1926. During yester-
day $6.414.02 was received, which brings
the total amount Of cash contributions
received up to this morning to $11,-
$685. Up to IL o'clock today about ST.

cry OF mail increases the amount OF
cash in the hands of the treasurer.
