It is the intontion to give tho work to the heads of needy families. Fivo times as |A many men are registered as can be employed, if the general relief committeo had the money it could supplement the work of tho board of public works and to great advantage. Thero are alleys, rarely seen by the f public but much used by the people who live in them, which are almost impassable. Living in these alleys are men who clamor for work to keep themselves and their families of) the rh'iritv list. Monov could be well ox ponded in this way, but the coininitteo Las not the money.

It. does not appear that the board of education has acteH wisely in ajjroeinpr to move the public library from its present quarters to the Masonic temple.

The general relief committee has gono to work with a will and ia trying to get its business on a business basis. When the machinery rota to running well it is thought that no needy ones will be overlooked and no impoateri allowed to take what tho deserving should have. It takes a little time to pot those things j well started, but Some of tho moat careful and most earnest men in the community aro giving tho matter thoir close attention. Individual effort can of ton help jj organized charity. It it is known to any citizon that a family ia sutterim: and has not boon reported to tho ward or general committee, lot him inuko it known. There may bo deserving cases I that will never get to the knowledge of tho proper authorities in any other way.
