Relief Committee Working
The Sussex County Committee for
the Relief of the Unemployed met in |
regular session in the grand jury |
room in the Court House, Wednes-
day, December 2, with all the men, |
bers present. Interested visitors |
also were present from Milford, Re- |
hOboth, Laurel, Georgetown, Bridge
vile and Milton, who advised the |
committee of the conditions in their
communities.
All the visitors, as we'll as the
members of the committee, empha-
sized the necessity of furnishing
food and clothing to as large an
extent as possible for the school
chOldren of the county, and it was
the feeling of the committee that
the local organizations should ex-
pend as much of the money into
their hands as possible. OF the funds
in hands the committee ordered a
by the Treasurer of
$35000 among the communities
which have a distinct working or
ganization for the proper and ju-
dicious use and expenditure there
of. And no funds were allocated to
certain communities in the county
because no information had come to
the committee of the formation of
local relief committee or bodies
whom the funds might safe
ly be distributed.
The next meeting of the committee
will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 16,
and it is hoped that at that meeting
there will be representative from
DagsbOrO, Indian River, GumborO
and Baltimore Hundreds, if there
are communities in those Hundreds
which need or will need assistance
from the committee during the win
re. Our committee cannot take
care of the needs of the various COM
unless the persons who are
familiar with conditions in these
acquaint us with the
needs. 1t is hoped, therefore, that
which have not organ
zed communities for this purpose
will do so and report at the meeting
IN December 10th, Mrs. Mary G.. N.
elliott, secretary.
