MISSIONERS TO EXPEND
FUNDS FOR FIRE AID.

Order No so issued by the State
Safety Commission deals with the
late holocaust which destroyed i'm
mense amounts of property and lives
in the northern end of the state.
The commission looked over the
ground and found that immense sums
would be needed to help out the loss
es of the farmers and others in the
burned sections and at once issued
an order allowing the boards of the
counties affected to appropriate pub
lie funds for relief.
The resolutions of the Safety
Commission and the Order is as
follows:
Whereas Extensive forest fires
have devastated large areas of set
tied country in the counties of st.
Louis, Carlton, Aitkin, and Itasca, in
the State of Minnesota, totally de-
stroying many villages and hundreds
of homes, farm buildings and fences,
live stock, machinery, all kinds of
farm produce, and many hundreds
of human lives, leaving thousands of
people wholly destitute and homeless,
all in need of immediate relief by
being supplied. with food, clothing,
shelter for live stock, and also fur
Their relief to aid in rebuilding their
houses, barns, and fences, all in or
der that the civil and Industrial re-
sources of the State may be efficient
ly applied toward the maintenance
Of and to aid in the successful pros
ecution of the war; and
Whereas, The Board of County
Commissioners of St.%Louis County
has applied to this Commission that
authority be granted to said County
Board to expend public funds in pro-
viding immediate and future relief
to all needy fire sufferers; and
Whereas, In the judgement of
this Commission, if such legal author
ity be granted to the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners of said st. Louis
