Oakland Relief Fund:-During sew
eral visits, to Oakland, L went into the
matter of funds of the Relief Commit

AT present writing, the Committee
is feeding some $4,000 persons.
There is a total of about 5000 people
in camps.
THE Committee Informed me that all
those receiving help are refugees from
San Francisco.
Monetary assistance has been prom
ised from the San Francisco Commit
tee, but at present, the Oakland Relief
Committee is very short Of funds.
san Francisco County Medical So
ciety;-I have donated to this cause the
sum of $1,000
Il consider this fund, established 10
assist physicians who in nearly every
case have lost their instruments and
Libraries, to be very worthy one
Associated Charities:-I have called
on those i'm charge of this work and
was Informed that at present they were
taking up the subject of caring for
young children and placing them in
homes so that parents might be able
to obtain work.
"The cost of care of a child per
month is S12, of which the State will
pay $685. and it is expected that the
general Relief Committee will pay the
balance
should this be the plan adopted I
will contribute to the general Relief
Committee and not to the Associated
Charities.
Santa Rosa;-Not having the time
to personally visit this city, l sent Mr..
j. w. Doyle, who spent two days there.
Il enclose his report, and a letter l
have received from the Mayor of this
City, showing that the place is not
short of funds.
Hospitals Visits have been paid to
Is Hospitals in this city, and we have
not yet found a record of any person
from Hawaii having been, or now be-
ing cared for
THE balance o fthe Hospitals here
will be visited this week.
Most of the Oakland Hospitals have
been visited, and we have not found
any one from Hawaii reported.
/ General Reflective have calls from
4 great many persons who years ago
resided in Hawaii or who have friends
who were or are now living there, and
who while now receiving aid from the
general Relief Committee of this city,
insist that as Hawaii has sent here a
lot of money they should receive from
this fund everything they ask for
My policy has been to endeavor to
make even those whom l think should

ceiving pay, who wish to send their
families to Honolulu
These, have investigated and find
: ing that the persons are well cared for,
/ have decided that this fund should
not pay for transportation for such
people, but that they should defer heir
trip until such time as they can pay for

1T may be possible, that assistance
will eventually be given to some of thi,
class of applicants who are really de-
serving, but had l acceeded to requests
in this line, that were made to me dur

fund would have been rapidly depleted
as news of assistance given to any one,
spreads rapidly, and it is surprising
how many will call and ask, simply
because so and so received aid
There are complaints from some who
think that because some of their friends
contributed to the fund in Hawaii,
they here, should certainly be granted
any aid that they might ask
