The committee of forty on the recon- struction of the city held its second meeting yesterday morning. Like the session of the previous day, it was one of discussion mostly. When it ad- journed Chairman Ruef ¢t the sub-| committee gave his report to the Mayor. This consisted of a few rec- ommendations, besides the outlining of twenty-four sub-committees to look ' into the situation and make their' re- ports to the main body. | In Ruef's report he recommended the | appointment of twenty-four commit- tees, including finance, assessments, municipal departments, speeial session of ' Legislature, charter amendments, Judlciary, revision of building law: structural material, public buildings, Federal buildings, extension and wid- ening of streets and other necessary improvements. ‘When the rebuilding committee of the reconstruction committee met the Mayor suggested that the first thing to; be considered was the rebuilding of the burned®business district.
