The note was in Arthur's big boyish handwrit- ing and evidently had been hastily penned.

DANE A Commitiey has been for Funds for the Relief of Suffé The Northern Ontario Fire Relief Committee, consisting of minion and Ontario: Governments, City of Toronto, Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, Toronto Board of Trade, and Canadian Manufacturers' Association, has been formed at the request of the Ontario Government to solicit and administer funds for the immediate relief of fire sufferers. The Dominion and Ontario Governments have each subscribed One Hundred Thousand Dollars, and the City of Toronto Fifty Thousand. It is estimated that at, least Four Hundred Thousand Dollars is needed to effectively relieve the situation, which is very serious. Citizens are urged not to make contributions through other than the Toronto central organization, in order that dupli- cation and waste may be avoided. Subscriptions are earnestly and urgently requested, and should be made payable to T. Bradshaw, Toronto, Treasurer of the Fund. Ire ere rs ARTHUR HEWITT, ; President Toronto Board of Trade, Chairman.
