To the Citizens of Palestine:

To the Citizens of Palestine:
When the members organized what
is now known as the Palestine Juvenile
Band, it was not for the purpose of
making money by means of the enter
prise; for every well-baIsnced mind
knows that the best pstronized anna
teur band in the country is a very
small source of revenue to its mem
bers, individually. But prompted by
desire to accomplish themselves in
music and maintain for Palestine 8
good band, which our city certainly
needs, the juvenile band was organic
ed. With very little assistance from
the public and working under many
disadvantages the boys have brought
their organization to the point where
it meets with favorable recognition
from the music loving public.
Now, as stated at the beginning, we
did not expect to, nor have we any
desire to make money from this source.
Our sole desire is to build for Palestine
q good band--one that will z hare
favorably with - stauda6 ,aI

have good talent, the membership be-
ing composed of the best young men
Of the city. We have q thoroughly
competent leader and instructor who
comes to Us highly recommended, and
we are putting forth our best efforts to
accomplish our purpose. But we need
the cooperation and assistance of the
public, and inssmuch as the members
of the band give their time and great
deal of their hard earned money TO
reach q stage of proficiency, we feel
and think that the citizens of Palestine
should aid us to some extent. A small
sum-25c or soc, say-from each bust
ness house each month would aid Us
very materially and soon place US on q,
firm footing. Other towns do this and
much more, and why not PalestineP
In conclusion allow US to say that
for past fsvors we are thankful, and
whatever assistance You may render
US in the future will be fully sppreci-
sted and that your confidence will not
be misplaced. We are,
Yours for success,

PERMANENT CAMPS FILLING UP.
Owners of Private Property Are Driv-
ing Tent-DweIIers Thercfrom.

Major ]. A. CASTOR reports that the
permanent camps are filing up with
refugees and that he has in all the
camps In the city room for only 1877
more. In some of the camps there is
room for additional tents, but tentage
is now at a premium.
The newcomers are from the tenn
porary camps scattered on private
property throughout the city, from
which the land owners are now eject
ing the tent-dwellers. The unfortu-
nate people have no place to go ex-
cept to the permanent camps and have
been hocking there by the hundreds.
In the majority of cases the ejecting
property owners want their land for
building purposes. but in some cases.
Major CASTOR thinks, their action Is
not necessary and made without I'M
Outstanding of the situation.
If" said Major CASTOR last night,
the property owners would delay
ejectment as long as possible we will
be able in couple of months to meet
tn demands of the people for shelter.
Now we have no place to put those
who may be driven from private prop
erty. When the houses to be built
by the rehabilitation committee are
completed, however. the tents will be
abandoned with surprising promptness.
Then there will be places for all and
nothing in the way of the refugees
vacating private property"

GENERAL GRIZZLY
TO THE FORE.
Will Furnish Fuel
and Tent Floors
for Campers.
Large Saving Is Effected

The relief commission yesterday
considered the supplementary esti-
mates submitted by Major J. a. CASTOR
for permanent and temporary camps
for the last ten days of July
This included the expenditures OF
$3.50 for nineteen latrines, $5S5S for
tent floors, $3.50 for wood and coal
and s1465 for installing a water sys-
TEN at the new camp at Harbor View.
The commission decided that the esti-
mates be favorably recommended to
the finance committee. with the under
standing that what could be furnished
from the Government fund be deducted
An arrangement was later made with
General Greedy by which the latrines
tent floors and wood are to be fur
nished by the army. This will save
the commission between $4,000 and
$4,000.
Another item in the budget was for
$1,000 for money due laborers. Major
CASTOR explained that after the mill
tary withdrew a number of Iaborers
continued at work several days, when
they were retired by the relief COM
mittee But they had performed the
labor, Major Castor explained, and
the money was justly due them. On
this showing the item was allowed
The purchase Of fuel for the camps
led to an extended discussion Major
CASTOR stated that unless fuel was
furnished the campers they would
steal valuable lumber to feed their
fires. The people have no money to
buy wood and when wood is not given
to them they steal it. One man who
hauled four loads of wood into one
of the camps turned his back for if
teen minutes and every stick of it was
stolen during that time
Ma jOr CASTOR and DR. HaSsler tha
Board OF Health inspector, stated that
floor for the tents were necessary as
a sanitary as well as a humane pro-
vision. In some of the camps, DR..
Hassler reported, women and children
were sleeping in the sand and in some
Instances had been badly bitten by
feas and sandfiies
Necessity of the latrines was in
sisted upon by Major CASTOR. as the
health of the city demanded it, They
are needed primarily as a precaution
against typhoid.
The budget was adopted as sub
mitted. with the provision that the
military authorities be asked TO do
what they could to reduce it,
Commissioners Devine and Moran
saw General Greedy later in the day
and completed arrangements by which
the army shall furnish the latrines
tent floor and fireWood, this last item
reducing the budget $500.
A second budget providing for the
establishment of fire appliances in
camps and in Golden Gate Park
at a cost OF 1928 was adopted. The
chief item Of this budget was for 1000
feet of hose at a cost of $500.
Authority was given the Board of
Health to take down the barracks at
Nineteenth and Dolores streets, the
lumber to be used for the purposes of
the commission

TOO MANY WOULD ATTEND
MERCHANTS BIG DINNER
Application for Seats Is Much I'm Excess
of Those Available for

Applications for tickets for the semi
annual dinner of the Merchants Asso-
citation to be held at the Hotel st. Fran
els next Wednesday evening have far
exceeded the available supply. By 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, 353 appli-
cations had been received. while the
number of seats that can be supplied
is limited to $50.
The demand for seats has broken all
previous records. This is .aken by the
officers of the association as an fndi-
cation of a general desire on the part
of members to get together to talk
over the subject of resuming business.
The applications this year have not
only come in in larger numbers than
usual, but have been filed more prompt
ly than in the past. There will proba-
bly, be many more applications before
the day of the dinner arrives.

These three counties are largely min

counties have been taken In by spec

where restoration to the public domain
has been made from forest reserves, Mr..
Auhury wishes TO know what the min

WILL NOT RECEIVE REFUGEES.
Park Commissioners Hope to Save City's
Squares From Damage.


Squares From Damage.
No more refugees will be permitted
to take up temporary quarters in the
public squares of the city. The Boa III
of Park Commissioners at it's regular
meeting yesterday afternoon at 1920
Sacramento street instructed Park Su-
perintendent McLaren to order his
men to refuse locations to any pros
pective campers.
superintendent McLaren reported
that there is room for 1000 campers
at Golden Gate Park speedway, to
which place all newcomers Will be sent.
The board is taking this step to save
further damage to the parks. as it be-
lieves that there is sufficient outside
land to accommodate all refugees.
A plan was proposed to the board
by Commissioner Lloyd to engage un
employed men in the camps at a daily
rate of 81 to grade the land between
Eleventh and Twelfth avenues and ex-
tending from the park to the Presidio.
At the present time the idle men are
a lightweight to the city and the
amount expended in wages will be
more than repaid by the work on the
proposed Improvement.
Another plan proposed by Commits
sion Lloyd for consideration is the
transfer to the care of the Almshouse
of aged and decrepit poor and home
less persons. Mr.. Lloyd suggests that
those who upon the breaking up of
the camps will ultimately be placed
in. the Almshouse shall be sheltered
Immediately by the AImshouse, where
they can receive proper attention.

WOMEN NOT EAGER TO WORK.
of All Those in One Camp Only Eight
Would Accept Positions.

Commissioner Moran has directed
camp commanders to report to him the
number of women in the camps who
are willing to accept work The first
report to come in reached him last
night and did not prove encouraging.
It was from Camp No. 7. OF the
women camped there but eight are re-

The report, which is based upon a
tent to tent canvass. shows that of the
eight one wants a place as a waitress

Similar reports will be received from
all the camps, and efforts be made to
provide those who are willing to ac-

men upon the eligible list the entire
list had to be called upon to supply the
requirements of the Registrar
