EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY. \ «,,.:, It would bo impossible adequately to express the deep debt of gi-atitude that the citizens of St. John feel they owe to those who contributed to relieve the wants and suffering consequent on the disaster to their city by fire of 20th June, 1877. Not alone for the material aid so generously sent them, but for the words of love, sympathy and cheer that came from every portion of tke world. So long as our city lasts this gratitude will fill our hearts. We cannot but recognize in the spirit which prompted such unbounded beneficence that pure charity that knows not creed or country.

As in the report it is proposed to f.ublish the letters and telegrams that came to hand, it i\ould almost seem invidious to particularise any act from among the thousands that call for our gi'atitude ; yet, we cannot forbear here recording the fact that the United States Government in its noble generosity Avas pleased to place its Revenue Cutter "Gallatin" at the dis- posal of the Boston Relief Committee to convey the goods collected in that city to the sufferers in St. John. This ship made two voyages from Boston to St. John laden with goods, the free offering of our generous neighbors of that city. The brotherly words of cheer and hope given us by the committee delegated from Boston to accompany the supplies, and by the commander and his olHcers when in our dire need we were des- pondent, will ever remain in the memories ot all who had the honor to meet those ifentle men. ■ m ■>.■■ '' CHAPTER IV. '^' . ''_[ TEMPORARY MEASURES OF RELIEF. The authorities of the city had an arduous task to perform. Early as the Public Meeting Avas convened it was anticipated by our kind neigh- bours aljroad. At this meeting letters were read from the Mayors of Halifax, Moncton, Bangor and other near jjlaces. The unbounded sympa- thy of all who received the sad news went out towards us. They wei'c as quick to anticipate all our wants, and from the wording of letters and messages, as kindly anxious to avert and alleviate sutFering as were our own people. Every succeeding minute brought words of condolence and proffers of aid from societies, corporations, states, and cities. Among the first to arrive was one from Her Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, express- ing sympathy with the sufferers. For days and weeks railways and steamboats continued to poui- in to us their freights of goods sent from the cities and tows of the United States and the Dominion. In some instances the supplies wei'e delivered at the rink free of charge, in all cases they were free of freight charges, and the Dominion Government directed its officers to pa«s all contributions for the sufferei-s free of duty. Valuable assistance was rendered the society through the labors of the Ladies Committee at St. John Church, the Ladies of the St. Vincent and Sacred Heart Convents, and the many private committees in Portland and the city. To receive and assort the supplies was a great responsibility for many weeks. Messrs. Wm. Magee and James Reynolds, the connnittee appointed for this purpose, devoted their entire time to the task. The goods as they arrived were stored in the Rink and Railway Sheds, and INCEPTION AND ORGANIZATION, 103 were issued to the orders of the committees of the furniture, clothing and provision departments, and were distributed by these committees to the sufferers. Temporaiy kitchens were erected, and aided by the largo supply of cooked food that wfis received, the committees were enabled to meet the demands of all. For the first few days the imperative necessity then was that all should be fed, and so far as could be done, pi'ovided with bedding and clothing. These necessaries were given to all applicants on their own statements, as in the presence of such abuntlance it was a sacred trust that no one should be left in want. But as early as the 23rd June, something like check and system had already been established, goods and provisions being issued by cards containing names and addresses of applicants. On the Monday following the fire cards for provisions were presented at the stores in the rink asking for food for 10,000 persons. It is not presumed in the report we here attempt to make, that a full account can be given of the actual disposition that was made of all the goods and supplies that came to hand during the first hours of the calamity, Init the directors are pleased, in gratitude to the generous, donors to be in a position to say that from the day of the formation of the "Kelit-f and Aid Society," on which an account of stock wcs taken and delivered to the Society's care, that that trust with all that came to liand thereafter in goods and monies are fully accounted for. CHAPTER V. INCEPTION AND ORGANIZATION OF THE RELIEF AND AID SOCIETY. At a meeting of the Citizen's Executive Committee, held at the Court House, on the 27th June, Mr. C. G. Trusdell, General Superintendent of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society, was presented to the meeting — he having been sent here by the Citizens of Chicago, tendering his aid, experience and assistance to the citizens of St. John in perfecting their relief organization; and at a subsequent meeting of the Directors, held at the Court House on 28th June, Mr. Trusdell, at the request of the Board, explained his plans and views, subuiitttjd his blanks, forms and system, with his experience for the past ten years in the work of relief in Chicago. The advice and suggestions which the lengthened experience of Mr. Trusdell enabled that gentleman to offer to the Committees, were of great value, and it is but an act of common justice to say, that a debt of grati- tude is due to him and to Ids city for the kindness which prompted his visit to us. It was the means of conveying at the right time the special kind of information which the state of affairs demanded, and helped us to 4K W 104 SAINT JOHN RELIEF AND AID SOCIETY. adopt at the outset systematized plans which we would only have adopted after, perhaps, many mistakes, much inconvenience and great waste of money. In view of the certainty that the labor and work of the directors and members of the several committees, as already appointed, nmst extend over many months, the meeting being fully satisfied that the system, as presented by Mr. Trusdell, was, with certain modifications, the best that could be adopted, it was resolved that the "Committee be managed accord- ing to the plans submitted, and that it be named The Saint John Relief AND Aid Society." At an adjourned meeting, held at 8 p. m., in the Court House, on the same day, the action of the previous meeting was confirmed, and the following officers and committees were appointed: — \V. H.

The meeting was composed of nearly all the leading business men, merchants and professional men of the city, and it fully sustained and approved the work and action of the society by the following resolution: — Moved by James Domville, Esq., M.

"Resolved, Thdt tliis meeting regards witli great .sati.sfaction, the onerous mid able services of Gloneml Warner and tlie other members of tlie citizens' committe, and beg to return them, on l>ehalf of tlie City of St. John, tlieir sincere thanks, and heartily confirm them in their oHice." Carried unanimously. Public notice was given in the city papers of the intention of the Society to ask for an Act of Incorporation, and the Provincial Legislature during its session in 1878, was pleased to incorporate the St. John Relief and Aid Society.

One of the most important comniitees was that of Shelter, involving the expenditure of a lai^^o .sum, and ret|uiriiig on the part of the mem- bers, a constant attention and supervision. For days afte" the lire, many persons fonnd temporary shelter in sheds, in warehouses and in the Rink — others had obtained places in the sub- urbs, or were crowded in with friends; in some instances whole families occupying but one small room — a dan j^o reus state as being likely to engender disea.se, as the warm weather approached. Thus it became imperative that some speedy action be taken to relieve those who were entirely destitute. Thi-ough the kindness of the officers of the Imperial and Dominion Governments, the committee had placed at their di.spo.sal a large supply of tents; of these some were loaned to families, others were put up on the Squares and other open places. 124 SAINT JOHN RELIEF AND AIdJsOCIKTY. With the consent of the (•oninion Council, it was resolved to erect houses 6n the Sijuares. Tenders were asked fur and contracts made, and in a short time HO liouses were built on Queen Square and ISS on Bar- rack Scjuare. These 2()H rooms gave shelter to 209 families, lunnbering in all 1,1. ')0 souls. The houses were entirely separate, were lOxlG feet; had double walls — the spaces filled with lime and sawdust; had well made doors, with double or storm windows; separate wood or coal sheds; water closets and water convenient. The demand for shelter still continuing, the Common Council granted permits for the erection of houses on the "Battery Cirounds." The Ex- ecutive Committee agreed to assist those who had o])tained permits or leases, ,vith an amount of money to aid in the purchase of lumber and material to some extent for l)uilding. ' Another form of at^sistance was that of grants of money to parties who had freehold or leasehold lots, who, having lost their houses, and having little or no insurance, were at the time unable to build, and need- ing shelter proposed to erect ells or wings on their lots. To those peiMons grants of money were made to assist them in this way, to piovide shelter for the winter.

' This committee was appointed to aiford aid and relief to the sick and disabled, as well as to make preparation to meet and avert the sickness and disease that might be expected to arise, as from the densely crowded state of the houses after the fire, families were compelled to occupy, in many instances, one small imperfectly ventilated room. A physician was employed by this committee— Dr. Daniel. A report of the cases attended by him is appenued. This gentleman made frequent visits to all the buildings erected by the Society. A sum of money was granted to the General Public Hospital to meet the increased cost of maintenance of patients from sickness and injuries consequent on the fire. Contracts were made with undertakers who on orders from the Society or committee furnished a cofRn and hearse, or coach, with such other attendance as the nature of the case demanded.

The Transportation Committee, under the management of Mr. Harris Allan, assumed the care of receiving and considering applications of all who desired to be assisted to leave the city. This required much dis- crimination to prevent imposition. This committee was dispensed with after a few months. During the earlier days an important part of the duty was the receiving and transporting goods from the different steam- boats and vessels to the depot at the rink.
