Mayor Ferd Garretson has named
one hundred persons to constitute the
temporary relief committee to aid the
poor of the city during the winter OF
1914-1915. They include the ten
who came forward at a conference at
the mayors home recently to start
the movement, as well as other men
prominent In the city. The first
meeting of the committee will be held
at o'clock tomorrow night In city
hall. AT that time, it is expected, the
committee will be formally organized
and ways and means for alleviating
distress and suffering among the poor
of the city will be taken up.
With donations aggregating $12O
having been given to Mayor Garrett
son, the fund to carry on the pro-
posed relief work is now approaching
the $500 mark, $454.25 having been
collected to date. This result is held
to be gratifying, especially so because
of the fact that the workers have not
yet started campaign for subscrip-
tions. 1t is expected that the work Of
the committee will include vigor-
Gus campaign for funds with which to
carry On LHt WON "A tdpIu
of the fund is looked for when the
committee of workers becomes active.
In the selection of the citizens
relief committee, Mayor Garretson
took into consideration the fact that
ladies of the city could render val
liable assistance in the good work.
Not feeling equal to the task of max
ing up committee which would in
clude women, the citys chief execu-
tive left it with those selected to
solicit the aid of women generally
J from the city. Included in the orig
| inaI ten workers, who appeared at
| the first conference, were three Ia
dies, whom the mayor chose for po-
sitions on the committee of one hun
dred. He and the other workers ask
for the aid of ladies generally, stat
ing that it is greatly desired Those
on the committee are expected to en-
list the aid of their lady friends.
