last night to discuss the conditions
Of the poor in the city and county,
and to settle upon some plan
whereby the situation might be
handled with greater ease and sue

A.geheral discussion of the work
was the plan Of the meeting, In
which the Associated Charities,
Salvation Army, Red Cross, and
county were represented. These
reports show that the cases Of need
which have been reported to these
organizations have been cared for,
but left the opinion that there
were some not yet known about.
A central committee comprising
DR.. l.. D. Howard, A. Brooks Flem-
ing, Jr, and Simon D. Goodman,
was appointed to work in conjunc-
tion with the Salvation Army and
the Associated Charities in dis
bursing aid, SO as to prevent dup
lication.
An attempt will be made to have
the various other charitable bodies
in the city, while remaining active
in the way of securing funds and
supplies, turn the actual field work
over to the Salvation Army and
Associated Charities. The various
districts throughout the county
were urged to follow out a similar
plan.
Mayor Buckley, Of MGnongah,
reports that his town is able to
care for all cases at present, and
Mr.. Cunningham, of Grant Town,
said there were to his knowledge,
no cases of actual suffering there.
Mrs. Gallien and Mrs. Hagerty
of Pennington, who have been
working there through the Red

their community, and Brooks
Fleming, Jr., Of the Consolidation
