On the other hand, those who want
the Great Council have sent to each
tribe in the reservation a circular
signed by past sachems and sachems of
San Francisco asking that action be
taken in regard 10 the session because:
I'VE feel that this is a critical time in
our order and that IL is more than
urgent TO have the aid and counsel of
our brothers from outside of San Fran
cisco TO legislate for the future welfare
of our beloved order and not place the
entire matter in the hands of our ad-
visory board.
This circular, which sets forth that
''by economical appropriation for the
next great sun at least $500 could be
saved. and after deducting the expenses
we would still have $500 for relief
work il it were needed at that time,
