To the Honorable, the Common l'ouueil : Gentlemen: - On Monday last, at the request ol öov. John T. Kich, I attended a meeting of citizens held in the city of Detroit, called together for the purpose of devisiiiL' means to relieve those who are Buffering in the upper península. You have been informad through the public prees of the action of that meeting. The committee which was apointcil to visit the upper península are now there Lnvestigating the situation. It appears from the partial reports that tliis committee has already made that severa! tbousand people must be snpplied with food and clothing during the entire winter. Unquestionably the people of this city and of Washtenaw county stand ready to do their i'ull of this charitable work. It is necessary, however, to devise Borne plan of operation which will give every one who desirea an opportunity to contribute to this object. The plan ought therefore, in my judgwent, to include the entire county. ] would suggesl that the Council appointa local relief i mittee for this city, and that VOU reinest the Common Couneil of Ypsilanti and the vil lage and township liciai'ds i.i the several villagea and townships in the countv to appoint similar local coinmittees, with the understanding that the chairmen of these several committeea ghall constitute a general relief committee for Washtenaw County. Surli general committee might i al the Court house in this city, say on the 14th of this month, organiza and adopt s.ini" ronera] and syetematic plan which shall be deemed adequate and effective. I would als., suggest that the local committee appointed by you be requested i.i take immediate steps, cither independently or, in conjunction with the several charitable organizations of this city, t.i have a house-to-house canvasa made, for the purpose of ascertainmg if si luw of uur own citizens are nut in of assistance it this time, or may nut be Itefore the winter is past. It often happens that there are needy pereons who are ti mi gensitive to make. their wants known, orare too independent tu beg. I have no personal knowledge or any reliable information, tliat there is a single family in our city in want, luit it is a (act that a larjre numberof our people depend upon their daily earnings for their daily bread, and that to-day they are out of work and they may be out oí bread also. The situation demands of os knowledge of the facts and that we do not suffer anyone to wantthrough our carelessness or negligence. B.M. THOMPSON, Dec. 4,1893. Mayor. Aid.
