<br />dershott stated that the Committee felt that for the present time that the Salvation Army should be
<br />paid ~~500.00 and then work out a program of monthly payments. Major Clarence Ford stressed the poin
<br />that already they had extended relief during the months of November and December in 1937, planning
<br />on funds being available from the city vii th which ,to meet their obligations. Mayor Large expressed
<br />openly that it would be advisable to formulate a program that would 'carry Until April 1, 1938, be-
<br />cause itvvas his understanding that the Transient Relief Building in Skinner's Butte Park, was
<br />available to the Army only until that date. It was pointed out_that it would be impossible to pro-
<br />gram the full amount budgeted because of the fact that the current tax eollections 'very seldom ex-
<br />ceed eighty per cent and further that part of the relief fund should be held for other purposes. It
<br />was determined by the Finance Committee that a total sum of ,$1200.00 be paid on the following basis:
<br />January $780.00, February, $210.00 and I~rch, $210.00. Upon motion made and seconded payment of
