STATEMENT OF TELLURIDE
RELIEF COMMITTEE

1t is the opinion of the relief COM
mittee that the citizens of Telluride
can raise sufficient funds to relieve
the immediate necessities Of the
homeless, but there are about twenty
families whose homes were totally
destroyed or filed with mud and
debris.
Many of these are unable to re-
build or clean their homes of the de-
bris and replace their furniture.
The relief committee could give
much needed aid to these parties in
cleaning out their homes and replac-
ing furniture if the generous people
wish to assist in this work.
1t is estimated that the city will
be at cost of from $4,000 to $685.
900 in cleaning up the mud and debris
from the streets and alleys.
A conservative estimate of the en-
tire property loss is placed at $780,
600.
