~ ease the situation. 1t is true there
have been large sums of money COLI
tributed for the relief of the destitute
of that city; but little of that money
has zone into actual circulation in the
city. 1t has been used for purchasing
the daily rations and necessary cloth
ing and bedding for the destitute. The
people themselves have not handled
these millions of dollars; but when
the insurance losses are paid tnat
money will go directly into the hands
of men who owned the destroyed build
ings and conducted the interrupted
business of the city. They will begin
to rebuild and to renew their former
occupations in trade and commerce,
and through them hundreds of thou
sands of dollars will Immediately be-
gin to flow into the old channels of
business and to be put in general cir
culation. While the donations of
money and ~necessaries of life were an
absolute necessity at the time to sus-
tain the lives of thousands, they could
not take the place of this other fund
in again placing in motion the wheels
of trade and business. Those dona-
tons filed the gap in the saving Of
life between the time OF the disaster
and the resumption of business, but
the latter could not be brought about
until the insurance companies began to
pay their losses. The announcement
that they will soon do so is joyous
news to the people of that city.
