BEL
CLAN REFUGEES
NOW IN FRANCE

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Paris, Nov. 22-"There are now more
than two million Belgian refugees In
France" Monsieur Berardi, secretary
of the Franco Belgian relief Commit
tee has informed The Associated Press
France has received them with the
greatest consideration and generosi-
ty," he said. the government allow
ing them the same amount as their
own unemployed, % cents per day to
each head of a family plus 10 cents for
each child. This, Of course, is sufficient
to keep them from starvation, but
nearly all Of them have other pressing
needs as they fed in a majority of
cases with insufficient clothing and
lacking other necessities. We are do
ing all we can, aided by the French
government to solve the problem by
finding employment for such as are
able to work, but France has her
own stricken population in the north
ern departments to care for and Bel
GUM is obliged to appeal to other gen.
erous nations for these people whose
need, as the world knows is not their

population was on the verge of starva-

The first refugees that arrived were
sheltered at the Cirque de Paris and
at the Northern Terminal but these
quarters, summarily prepared, were in

and river barges are being fitted up
with more comforts and sanitary ar
rangements for their reception. Hun
dreds of children who have lost their
parents have been adopted by French
and Swiss families and many owners
of villas in the country have placed
them at the disposition of Belgium
families. These measures relieve the
pressure on the committee somewhat
but the refugees continue to arrive.
A movement is on foot to establish
colonies in Tunis for such as wish to
emigrate but the proposition is said to
be no more likely to succeed than
the suggestion to send them to Cali

inclined to emigrate, habituated as he

During the roll call a dead silence

When order was restored Hugh A.

CITY IS ANXIOUS
TO WIDEN STREET
COMMITTEE TO RECEIVE PROP0,
sITIONS FROM INTERESTED
PARTIES ON MAYO BRIDGE.

With Chairman Mills in charge Of
the committee on streets that body
yesterday afternoon held a lengthy
session in hearing citizens in reference
TO the proposition of widening the
northern approach to Mayo bridge.
Representatives OF the Southern
Railway company, counsel Of prop
erty owners and James Sloane, who
owns much of the, Dock property,
spoke to the committee. The city at
torney and the city engineer were on
hand in an advisory way.
The idea of the committee is to get
possession OF a sufficient amount OF
property to give the city ample. drive
ways and traffic passages from the/new
bridge. 1t would like TO get Four
teenth street as a practical thorough
fare. Several plans have been pro-
posed along this line. 1t has been sug-
gested that buildings on one side of
that street be condemned, and 1t has
been suggested that an overhead side
walk be built. The condemnation
theory evaporated when 1t was found
that 1t would cost several hundreds of
thousands of dollars to get the prop
erty. The overhead walkway is still be-
ing considered by a subcommittee.
Another scheme is to diyerge into
Dock street to Fifteenth and use that
street for the traffic. This is the plan
which was under consideration yester-
day.
The Southern Railway company
owns some property which the city
would like to have, and SO does MIR.
Sloane. Both parties are willing To
treat fayorably with the city, SO upon
this understanding the railroad rep
resentauves and MIR. Sloane win form
uiate some sort of proposition which
