MONEY AND CREDIT.
Pressing Needs Of San Francisco FL
nance Committee.

San Francisco.-James d. Phelan,
chairman of the municipal finance
committee, Sunday gave the following
statement to the press:
"The demands upon the finance COM
mittee are very great and we do not
see how we can meet them II the pres
ent conditions continue. There is no
money in circulation. The banks are
closed because they do not dare open
their heated vaults, and when they do
open them they will probably pay out
slowly, as they realize upon their as
sets. They expect next week to cash
the checks OF well-known customers to
the extent of $500 each. That meas
ure will help in small degree the re-
sumption of business There is suf-
fcient food supply in sight for the
present But the great problem for us
is how to provide for the absolutely
destitute. for the sick, the old. the chill
dren and all other dependent persons.
The means of support OF the hos
pitals. orphans. religious and char
table associations of all kinds are alb
solutely cut on. The local Red Cross
estimate that 81 900 per day is neces-
sary for the hospitals. They say 1t
Will take years to set the hospitals on
their feet. We are formulating plan
to present to our committee by which
more credit can be secured for the re-
habitation of our workers, our institu
tions ard the rebuilding of our city.
Everybody Is willing to work and to
make necessary sacrifices. II the tools.
as II were, were put into their hands
to re-establish the economic and So
cial conditions which prevailed before
the fire.
I'VE need large sums of money az
low rates of interest. Such moneys
would be amply secured. and, as In the
case of Chicago. give us new city
and give to every body the means of
resuming their ordinary yocatlons In
life with the promise OF an abundant
reward for their steadfastness, within
Il period of less than FIVE years.
Everybody is hopeful and courag-
eous and the prosperous communities
of the United States will. we are sure.
answer our call for help. Their spon-
taneous and generous aid has deeply
touched the hearts of our people"
