Iutely Cut Off.

San Francisco-James D. Phelan,
chairman of the municipal finance
committee gives out the following
statement to the Associated Press:
THE demands upon the finance
committee are very great, and we do
not see how we can meet them if pres
ent conditions continue. There is no
money in the community in circula-
ton. The banks are closed because
they dare not open their heated
vaults, and when they do open them
they will probably pay slowly as they
realize upon their assets They ex-
pect next week to cash the checks
of we'll known customers to the ex-
tent of $500 each That measure will
help in small degree the resumption
of business. There is a sufficient food
supply in sight at present, but the
great problem before us is how to
provide for the absolutely destitute,
for the sick, the old, the children and
all other dependent persons.
THE means of support of the hos
pitfalls. orphanages religious and char
table organizations of all kinds are
absolutely cut off. The Red Cross es-
Inmates that $1,000 a day is necessary
for the hospitals. To set the institu-
tons on their feet would be the work
of years. because the local people are
unequal to the task of supporting such
institutions and at the same time
mr. q nf
households and rebuilding of stores
and homes and ordinary taxation for
public purposes. We are formulating
plan to present to our committee by
which money can be secured for the
of our workers. Every
body is willing to work and to make
private sacrifices if the tools. as it
were, are put into their hands to re-
establish the social, economical and
commercial condition which prevailed
before the fire. The idea in our minds
is to somehow get large sum of
money at low rates of interest. Sc
cured by the improvements which we
will erect. Such moneys would be am
ply secured and, as in the case of Chi |
cago, give us a new city and give to |
everybody the means of resuming |
their ordinary vocations.
Everybody is hopeful and coura-
geous and the prosperous commune
lies of the United States, we are sure,
give heed to our call for help Their
spontaneous and ,eenaronG aid has
deeply touched the hearts of our Deo-
pie"
