popT DEPOSIT ICE GORGE sur.
FERERS.
Committee Makes Report On Aid
Given After Flood.

committee of the citizens Of Port De
post, who acted as agents for dis,
tribution Of the money appropriated for
relief Of the food sufferers last winter. has
filed its sworn report to the State officials.
The town Of Port Deposit has received
only 5000 Of the money appropriated and
has already expended about $4,000 in
relief work. The newspaper estimates Of
the damage at the time of the flood were
$3.50, 600. W. P. Cameron and Oliver
Sentman, practical engineers and builders
at the request Of the town authorities after
ward went carefully over the ground
and their estimate was $I5o,ooo.
OF this total probably $4,000 fell upon
the laboring classes Of the town, whose
losses have never been at all relieved by
State or public aid. Practically all the
aid thus far extended has gone to buy
fuel and foodstuff, and many Of the build
eings that were damaged are in the same
condition today because the people have
no money to make the repairs.
81
The number otpersons relieved was be-
tween 800 and 900, and one item of re-
lief was 10000 1oaves of bread.
The Board Of Public Works on Satur-
day considered the expenditure Of the ap-
preparation Of $4,000. which was made
by the last Legislature for the sufferers OF
the Port Deposit flood, and it was held
that the State could not compensate
property owners for the mere loss of their
property; unless the loss itself is such as
to occasion suffering and distress.
Out Of the appropriation Of $50, 900 the
relief committee has spent $4,853.oI. The
committee urged that the balance of the
appropriation be used to reimburse people
pro rata for their losses. Attorney
General Isaac Lobe Straus was called in
and he declared that the State could not
do this. In other words, the State may
not pay for the reconstruction of portion
of a house. The money, he held, could
only be used for relief to destitute cases
In order to entitle the residents of Por1
Deposit to the remaining part Of the ap-
Precipitation specific cases Of need must be
proved.
