Morison and G. R. Jackson, Chairman. After its first mecling, Septem- ber 19, this committee assumed the entire burden of relief and rehab- ilitat:on. An emergency soup kitch- en, esiablicshed during the fire, was taken cver and temporary slecping quarters were established; a spec- ial sub-committee on relief was di- rected to meet all cases of immed- iate relief, and plans were formu- cted for putling the committee's various activities cn a permanent basis. A relief office was estab-| lished in the gymnasium of the public scheol building and immed- iately thereafter census workers| were sent out on a hous2 Lo hous canvas for ascertaining the extent of the disaster and to estimate possible needs for relief. The’ in-| formaticn secured follows: Business establishments lost, 63; persons left homeless due to loss of residences, 193; persons without guarters due| to loss of hotels, eic, 52; others who suffered loss, 105; persons liv- ing in temporary quarters, 160. Fund Available The sum of $50,000 was made available through the FERA to be expended under the supcrvision of Judge J. H. S. Morison.

Emergency Housing:' Under this project a bunkhouse accom- | mcdating from 60 to 70 men was opened immediately after the fire and maintained until November 15. | After that date the large bunk- ’housn was dicontinued and a small- place secured to care for the rcw men unable to get other ag- | commodations for the winter. In addition, about twenty cabins were moved into town from adjacent | weeks and ‘purchased by people | who had lost their homse in the {ire. 8. Direct Relief: A public soup kitchen was operated during the emergency immediately after the | fire. This was no longer necessary | after September 23. Direct relief in the form'of groceries and fuel | was furnished a few needy families Ifor a short time, but this also be- | came unnecessary. 9. Draining Fire Area: 925 feet |of wood "drains were constructed and intalled.
