C0MMUX1CATI0NS FROSI THE MAYOK. To the Honorable, the Comraon Council : Gentlemen: - On Monday last, at the request of Gov. John T. Rich, I atteuded a meeting of citizens held in the city of Detroit, called togetber for the purpose of devising ineans to relieve those „■lm are suffering in tlie upper península. You have been inionned through the public presa of the aetion of thut meeting. The comnuttee which was apointed to the upper península are now there investigating the situaron. It appears froiu the partial reports that tuis connnittee lias already made that several thousand people must be supplied with lood and clóthing during the entire winter. Unquestionably Se people of this eity and of Washtenaw county stand ready to do their full hare of this charitable work. It is neeessary, however, to devise someplan jf operation which will give every one ■who desires an opportunity to contribute to this object. The plan ought therefore, in my judgment, to include the entire county. I would suggest that the Council appoint a local relief committee for this city, aud that you request the Comraon Council of Ypsilanti and the village and township boards of the several villages and townships in the couuty to appoint similar local committees, with tlie understanding that the chairmen of these several committees símil coustitute a general relief committee for Washtenaw County. Such'general committee tnight meet at the Court house in this city, say on the J4th of this tnonth, organize and adopt sorne general and systematic plan which s-liall bc deemed adequate andeffective. I would also suggest that the local committee appointeu by you be requestd to take immediate steps, either indepeiuUntly or, in coujunction with the several charitable organizations of this city, to have a house-to-house canvass made, for the purpose of ascertaining if gome of our own citizens are not in need of assistance at this titne'or inay not be before the winter is past. It often happens that there are needy persons who are too sensitivo to make their wants known, or are too independent to beg. I have no personal knowledge or any reliable information, that there is a single family in our city in want, h,ut it is a fact that a large number of oir people depend upon their daily earnings for their daily bread, and that to-day they are out of work and they may be out of bread also. The situation demanda of us knowledge of tlie facts and that we do not suffer anyone to want through our carelessness or negligence. B. M. THOMPSON, Dec. 4, 1893. Mayor. Aid. Manly moved that the comnaunication be received and placed on file. Ad'opted. PBTITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS.
