STREET APPEAL.

p MAYOR'S RELIETF FUND. TO-DAY'S COLLECTION. To the average citizen who moves about with eyes and ears open the necessity for to-day's street appeal to augment the Mayor's Itelief of Distress Fund is apparent. Not lor very many years has the pressure of economic conditions been felt so severely by such a large number of families ami .individuals. Great as are the demands that at present arc being made on the reliet agencies, the approach ot winter will greatlv increase the drain upon tlioir available resources, it is to be propared for this state of affairs that today's street appeal is being made. The occasion is one that calls for a liberal response on the part of the citizens, and judging by the manner in which the public of Christchurch have responded iu the past to similar appeals, it is anticipated that to-day's collection will eclipse previous efforts. Collectors' Stations. Mr S. W. Jauieson, organiser of the appeal, wishes collectors to note that it has been found quite impossible to notify all of them of the positions allotted to them, and he asks those who have not been notified to report to him at the City Council headquarters at tho times tlisv have offered to be available, when he will allot them their respective stations.
