ency Relief Committee, appointed
by Mayor Harvey, and of which
Colonel George A. Elliott Is chair

Data respecting the number Of
families in the. city who require as
sistance, already has been obtained
by David NJ. Hillegas. secretary Of
the Equitable Trust Company, for
the use of the Emergency Relief
Committee, from eight charitable or
CARNATIONS which are dispensing
food or fuel. This information, how
ever, has been considered insufficient
for the purposes required, and be-
fore beginning the campaign to raise
100000, the committee thought it
wise to get into touch with the min
listers.

rick's r. c. Church; the Rev. T.
Franklin Smiley. pastor of West
Presbyterian Church; the Rev. Will
liam Tmple, pastor of st. Elizabeth's s
r. c. Church; the Rev DR.. Robert
Watt, superintendent Of the Will
mington district of the Wilmington
Conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church; and the Rt. Rev
Philip Cook, Bishop OF. the Diocese
Of Delaware of Protestant Episcopal
Church.
The entire situation with regard
to conditions in the city was dis
cussed at length, and much light was
shed upon the needs of families
whose chief supporters have been
out Of employment.
An Appeal for the 100000 which
is believed to be imperatively need.
