B. Y. Gibson, Of the American
Rescue Workers in this city, person
ally presented the above report to me
and makes oath that to the best Of
his knowledge and belief it is true
and correct.
This the 10th day of September
A. D., 1920.
J. H. HAMER, Mayor.
They said: "If you do put man
in Dillon he will have lots to do, but
getting the money to do it with is
another natter
1.-THE people Of Dillon help all kinds
of causes far away and overlook
things at home" I listened. Saw
the great need over this country and
placed Captain B. Y. Gibson in charge
Of the work in Dillon and trusted to
the good people of Dillon, recognizing
the merit and need Of the work and
helpout.
l was greatly surprised on going
over Captain Gibson's books to dis
cover the great beneficial work he has
been able to do and also how well
you have helped him along. OF
course a few bills remain unpaid on
this date, but believe the good peo-
pie of Dillon will enable Captain Glib
sen to bring to our National Council
and Conference report to the effect
that "all bills are now paid in Dillon.
That Council is held October 22nd,
1920, and it will only take a little
pull to clear the accounts, mostly for
charity cases.
Captain Gibson's financial report
discloses that the donations and sub
scriptions he had had up TO date total
S450.57 and the amount paid out in
actual charity relief totaled $666.41.
The collections from street meetings
made up the deficiency.
The unpaid bills are as follsw:
On furniture of home------$20O.0O
For doctors bills 2O.5O
For grocery bills 1914
For hospital bills 91.OO
For furniture for others --- $500
For burial accounts 94.55
Total -----.- ---- ------SfoS. y
Quite a lot of money for Captain
GSSson, but not very much for Dillon,
if the good folks will only get to-
gether.
Captain Gibson has devoted himself
to the good of your city and has de-
MED himself to a great extent that
he might be a blessing, and now dear
ones, won't wou just help and clear
these accounts up and put his work
on a clear basis?
Yours very respectfully,
COL. HORACE BURTON,
National Organizer American Rescue
Workers.
