Although the relief committee is
making a noble effort to care FOR the
destitute. there is much suffering, and
these Is some criticism of the Mayor
and officials for refusing the profered
aid from Montgomery and other cities.
when II was offered in such manner
and when it was so badly needed No
blame is attached to the relief COM
mittee, but to the officials who. some
claim, had not the authority to refuse
aid when given to the poor.
Chairman l.. Hilton Green OF tho
Board Of Trustees. today addressed a
letter to the Mayor in regard to this
matter, and said II the General Relief
Committee did not desire the Mont
gomery contribution. that there were
committees OF ladies doing noble work
who could put It to good use. He
stated that il was the Mayors duty
to draw on Montgomery and other
cities for relief Of these sufferers. hut
he does not favor asking contributions.
Tho Mayor takes the same position a.
Mr. Green, but states that as the gen
eral relief committee had been organ
lied when he reached here. that he
turned the matter over TO the chair
man.
