Phe- |1an, indicates what activity there has been in.the sister metropolis to help the | stricken city: Dear Sir—Tn_reply |May 11, 196, I desire to make the fol- lowing financial statement of the funds | received by the Chamber of Commerce itizens' relief committee of Los Angele: | Gross receipts to and including May | 1906, . $780,052.%7; less refund, $9,600; ~net | ameunt received on above account, $2:1 | o§2.37. {7 explanation of the deduction on ac- | count of the refund, would say that the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank sub- ribed to General Otis $5000, and J.

We are caring quite a number of refugees, and an- pate that we will have to do so, in 1 probability, for some weeks to come. he committee still feels deep interest in_its work, and expects some future subseriptions to its fund. They will from time to time forward supplies or cash as needed to such points as they feel are in the test need of the same. In.this we have the desire to carry out, s as_possible, the wishes of the | subscribers. Eventually we will publish a pamphlet showing in full the entire re- ceipts and how expended, in detail, at which time the relief committees in San Francisco and other towns suffering from the earthquake will recelve the entire cash balance of the fund. This committee has forwarded in sup- plies of various kinds 100 carioads, and expect to get another car off Tuesday. We feel confident that Los Angeles has forwarded in all. from its ious com- mittees and fraternal societies, over carloads of supplies, and will' have sub- scribed, including the expenditures of above mentioned cars, between $500,000 and $600,000. We would say that all of our expendi- tures have been made by experts in the line of goods purchased, in a most cace- ful manner on a wholesale basis, and all bills before being paid have been passed upon by other experts.
