meeting of the committee appointed by
the Boston Chamber of Commerce to
draft a uniform apple grading law for

limited time but 1t is hoped that by the
end of another meeting the work will be
completed.

Roads.
'eThe appropriation of 800 for roads
at Pleasant Point was sufficient to put
them in good condition, but in order
to keep them so, and have the ditehes
cleaned out, culverts repaired and
complete graveling of all the roads on
the reservation, it will require an ap-
preparation of 800 for 1sl5~and the
same for 1916.
"As the committee on Indian affairs
on the part of the council had some
experience in driving over the road
from Princeton to Peter Danas Point,
| feel sure that they Will join me In
asking for an appropriation of 500 for
repair of roads at Peter Dana's Point
for 1915 and the same for 1915.
I've were a little late in getting the
road work done at Peter Dana's Point

IL GAparaI
This year of 1914 has been the hard
est year for the Indians that ] have
ever known.
There was very little work in the
sardine factories at PASSPORT, very
little sale for heavy baskets during last
winter and most of the fancy baskets
peddlers who visited the summer re-
sorts the past summer, brought back
a large share Of their stock.
Il am carrying over about sl,2ot
worth of fancy baskets myself which
| never did before.
II also have paid vouchers to the
amount of $500 for doctors bills, fun
eral expenses, pensions, etc, and above
the appropriation for 1914, which II
| had not paid, would have caused
suffering among the tribe. I have
asked for an appropriation of $1.oot
for each of the years 1915 and 1915 ans
think that it will take that amount te
give them the care and medicine tina
they require. The past year 1t cos
$500 to pay doctors. and even ther
there were many cases that I fee
should have had more attention if WI
had money to pay for it. We have
number of widows and old men wht
actually need to draw from IS to 81
per month to keep atsem comfortable
THE wood for the Indians at Pleas
ant Point has to be hauled by team
from five to 10 miles which makes 1
expensive. It also costs about $500 t.
get a car of basket ash delivered t.
either reservation, where in past year.
they could take their toboggan in thu
winter, and go cut and haul by hant
all they required.
LAS there is no money available Il
take care of the Indians until an ap
preparation is made by the next legis
lature l trust that their bill may b'
put through as speedily as possible
