REPORT OF COMMITTEE. 
 
 On the day after the flood — Saturday, June 1, 1889 — a meeting of 
 the citizens of Johnstown was held in the School House on Adam 
 street. A. J. Moxham was selected as General Chairman and Di- 
 rector of all relief agencies and work, and several special commit- 
 tees were appointed, among them being a Committee on Finance; 
 Messrs. Howard J. Roberts, W. C. Lewis, John D. Roberts, and 
 Dwight Roberts being named on this Committee, of which W. C. 
 Lewis was designated as Treasurer. On learning that Howard J. 
 Roberts had lost his life in the flood, Geo. T. Swank was substituted 
 in his place. 
 
 At a subsequent meeting on June 5th, the Committee was enlarged 
 by adding to it Messrs. James McMillen and Cyrus Elder, and organ- 
 ized by the election of James McMillen, President ; Cyrus Elder, 
 Secretary ; W. C. Lewis, Treasurer ; and John D. Roberts, Assistant 
 Treasurer. 
 
 The Committee met daily during the months of June and July ; 
 it met every other day during the month of August, after which its 
 regular meetings were weekly, with numerous special meetings. Its 
 first business was the receipt and safe custody of contributions coming 
 directly to Johnstown for the relief of flood' sufferers. The direction 
 of all relief agencies having been conferred upon James B. Scott, of 
 Pittsburgh, at a meeting held on June 4th, the Finance Committee 
 were in constant conference with him, and decided such questions in 
 regard to administration as were referred to them. 
 
 At this stage of the business, the relief work, including work upon 
 debris, etc., was in charge, in part, of local committees, and in large 
 part of citizens of Pittsburgh selected by the Pittsburgh Relief Com- 
 mittee for their special capability to manage the departments placed 
 in their charge. All questions relating to appointments of local com- 
 mittees and changes in them were referred to and decided by the 
 Finance Committee. 
 
 On June 8th Dwight Roberts tendered his resignation as a mem- 
 ber of the Finance Committee, and A. J. Moxham was elected to fill 
 the vacancy. 
 
On June 12th, in accordance with the earnest solicitation of the 
 Pittsburgh Committee, it was relieved from the duties it had assumed 
 at Johnstown, Governor Beaver taking control through Adjutant- 
 General Hastings, his representative, and Director Scott and his 
 assistants returned to their homes and business, with the conscious- 
 ness of having wisely performed a most difficult duty as their sole 
 reward. 
 
 The Finance Committee made a report of its transactions to 
 Director Scott on June 11th, which concludes with these words: "In 
 retiring from your office as Director, you have the thanks of this 
 Committee on behalf of the citizens of Johnstown and vicinity for 
 your great and efficient labors in relieving their distress, and we also 
 extend thanks to your personal staff, and to the generous citizens of 
 Pittsburgh who have been laboring with you." 
 
 On June 13th the Finance Committee learned through publica- 
 tion in the newspapers that a State Flood Relief Commission had 
 been appointed by the Governor, and endeavored, but without effect, 
 to secure a prompt announcement to the country of its assumption of 
 the duty of receiving and making distribution of contributions for 
 the relief of Johnstown. 
 
 It having been proposed by the Pittsburgh Relief Committee to 
 furnish portable houses, fitted up as comfortable homes, upon condition 
 that the Finance Committee would receive and distribute the same 
 properly, on June 17th this offer was accepted, and a Committee was 
 appointed to act in conjunction with General Hastings and Dr. Ben- 
 jamin Lee to determine the location in which houses might properly 
 be erected where applicants ,had not approved sites of their own. A 
 form of application was approved and ordered to be printed, and 
 Messrs. H. W. Storey, Thomas Matthews, and B. F. Speedy were em- 
 ployed to act as a Committee to take applications for the houses, to 
 attend to the receiving and delivering of them, with power to employ 
 assistants, etc. Mr. Speedy being in ill-health was unable to serve, 
 and his place was filled by D. H. Kinkead. Mr. Matthews retired 
 after serving for a period of one month, and this onerous and unpopu- 
 lar duty was faithfully discharged by Mr. Storey and Mr. Kinkead 
 and their assistants under the direction of the Finance Committee. 
 
 The furnishing of portable houses as proposed by the Pittsburgh 
 Committee was carried out by the Chicago Relief Committee, the 
 account being taken up by the Flood Commission, and was supple- 
 mented by orders given by Governor Beaver and approved by the 
 Finance Committee, under a mutual misunderstanding with regard 
 to the character of the houses and their cost. The small portable 
 
houses were a disappointment, and their allotment to survivors of 
 the flood who had large families could not be regarded as either ap- 
 propriate or useful. It being also supposed that an account would be 
 kept with parties receiving these houses, and that they would be 
 charged with them in any. final distribution of relief money, there 
 were good grounds for dissatisfaction. This was finally removed by a 
 reduction of price effected through the Finance Committee, and in 
 some cases by issuing two of the small houses, or a large and a small 
 house, to the same family. 
 
 The necessity of furnishing shelter to the people who had lost 
 their homes being still urgent, the Commission contracted for the 
 erection of four-roomed dwellings, known as " Hughes " houses, at a 
 moderate cost, which proved to be satisfactory, four hundred of which 
 were ^allotted to the most necessitous families by the House Committee. 
 
 'In this matter of sheltering the people, as in others of like im- 
 portance, Miss Clara Barton, President of the Red Cross Association, 
 was most helpful. At a time when there was a doubt if the Flood 
 Commission could furnish houses of suitable character, and with the 
 requisite promptness, she offered to assume the charge, and she erected, 
 with the funds, of the Association, three large apartment houses, which 
 afforded comfortable lodging for many homeless people. She was 
 among the first to arrive at the scene of the calamity, bringing with 
 her Dr. Hubbell, the Field Officer of the Red Cross Association, and 
 a staff of skilled assistants. She made her own organization for relief 
 work in every form, disposing of the large resources under her control 
 with such wisdom and tenderness that the charity of the Red Cross 
 had no sting, and its recipients are not Miss Barton's dependents, but 
 her friends. She was also the last of the ministering spirits to leave 
 the scene of her labors, and she left her apartment houses for use dur- 
 ing the winter, and turned over her warehouse with its store of furni- 
 ture, bedding, and clothing, and a well-equipped infirmary, to the 
 Union Benevolent Association of the Conemaugh Valley, the organ- 
 ization of which she advised and helped to form ; and its lady visitors 
 have so well performed their work that the dreaded winter had no 
 terrors, mendicancy has been repressed, and not a single case of un- 
 relieved suffering is known to have occurred in all the flooded district. 
 Owing to the large extent of territory in which work upon the 
 •debris and for the recovery of the dead was carried on, and the dif- 
 ficulties of communication, as well as the almost insuperable difficulty 
 of keeping full and regular accounts, the payment of this and other 
 labor of the same character was not fully made by the Pittsburgh 
 .administration. In some cases no accounts from the districts, were 
 
turned in in time. In other cases the accounts were not taken up, 
 because they had not been specially authorized by the Committee. 
 The claims upon the Finance Committee for a settlement of these ac- 
 counts were exceedingly urgent, and it was concluded finally that 
 pay-rolls for labor and police work, when properly certified by time- 
 keepers and endorsed by the local authorities, should be discharged. 
 The Committee reluctantly arrived at this conclusion, but feel that 
 they were justified in acting as they did, as the money was going to 
 our own people, who were sufferers by the flood, and the recognition of 
 their claims as a debt was in itself a form of relief. A pay-day was 
 appointed, of which a public announcement was made, but many of 
 the claimants failed to receive notice, and many of these accounts re- 
 mained unsettled until a later day. 
 
 On June 24th the Finance Committee, having failed in its efforts 
 to procure any definite information in regard to the plans of the 
 State Commission, resolved to make a distribution of the money in its 
 hands to the sum of $150,000 among the sufferers in the direct patft 
 of the flood. The resolutions provided for a sufficient number of 
 offices to be opened at convenient places, in charge of competent per- 
 sons ; that the names and former places of residence of all sufferers 
 should be registered, the family being registered by the head of the 
 family (when there was a surviving head), and other survivors being 
 registered individually, the present place of residence being stated, 
 and it being made the duty of the persons in charge of registration to 
 make a record of the names of all persons lost by the flood. This 
 work was placed in charge of the House Committee, who proceeded 
 with it promptly, and in accordance with these resolutions the distri- 
 bution of what was known as " head " money of $10 to each sufferer 
 was speedily and satisfactorily effected, the total sum paid out amount- 
 ing to $158,650. 
 
 In the meantime, the Finance Committee was co-operating with 
 General Hastings in reducing and systematizing the distribution of 
 commissary stores, and on June 25th, as a result of a conference with 
 General Hastings, it was resolved to consolidate the existing commis- 
 saries, placing them in the hands of Capt. H. H. Kuhn, with such 
 assistants as might be necessary. Col. J. L. Spangler, Assistant Com- 
 missary General of the State, who had performed his difficult duties 
 in the most conscientious and able manner, turned over his stores in 
 accordance with the above action, and deserved and received the 
 thanks of the Finance Committee, on behalf of the people of Johns- 
 town, for his efficient services. 
 
 Among the numerous contributions for the relief of Johnstown, 
 
which for one reason or another were being held back in the hands of 
 Relief Committees, was that of the City of Cleveland. At the re- 
 quest of Mayor Gardner, Tom L. Johnson, residing in Cleveland, 
 but having large business interests in Johnstown, was elected a mem- 
 ber of the Finance Committee, and the larger part of the Cleveland 
 fund, not used for special expenses in collecting statistics, was turned 
 over to the Finance Committee. At the instance of Mr. Johnson, a 
 Board of Inquiry was established, charged with the duty of collecting 
 the full statistics which would be needed in making intelligent distri- 
 bution of relief money, upon a plan prepared by the Cleveland Com- 
 mittee, and although this plan was not fully adopted, it was an ex- 
 ceedingly valuable suggestion, and was largely influential in giving 
 shape to the final action. 
 
 The Board of Inquiry consisted of Messrs. John Hannan, John 
 H. Brown, Samuel Masters, H. H. Kuhn, E. W. Trautwine, and 
 Tom L. Johnson. The flooded territory was divided into eighteen 
 districts, each district being in charge of a local committee. Owing 
 to pressure of other engagements, Messrs. Trautwine and Kuhn 
 were obliged to withdraw from the work. Mr. Johnson continued 
 for some time to give it personal attention, and Messrs. Hannan, 
 Brown, and Masters remained in charge, with their assistants, 
 until all the money allotted to Johnstown by the Flood Commission 
 was finally distributed. The Finance Committee having received 
 notice of the meeting of the Flood Commission at Cresson on July 
 9th, were prepared to represent to the Commission that the work of 
 the Bureau of. Inquiry was so far advanced that a distribution of 
 money could at once be made. Up to that date, a majority of the 
 Flood Commission had not considered it proper to make a distribution 
 of the money in their hands to individual sufferers. Upon the urgent 
 solicitation of the Finance Committee at the Cresson meeting, and 
 their positive assurances given to the Commission that the distribution 
 of money would be attended with no disorders and would be free from 
 all scandal and abuse, the Commission authorized a trial distribution 
 upon the statistics collected by the Bureau of Inquiry, in accordance 
 with the plans of the Cleveland Committee (with modifications sug- 
 gested by Judge Cummin) of the sum of $500,000. Judge Cummin, 
 a member of the Commission, who had been assigned to duty at Johns- 
 town, advocated this action. He was then ill, and being afterwards 
 unable to attend to his duties, the distribution was made upon orders 
 cashed by William R. Thompson, of Pittsburgh, who attended to 
 the matter in person, giving his services gratuitously. The death of 
 Judge Cummin on August 12th was a serious loss to the people of 
 
Johnstown, and was deeply deplored by all associated with, him in the 
 relief work, which he had taken up in a broad-minded way, and would 
 have prosecuted in a satisfactory manner. 
 
 General D. H. Hastings being obliged by other official duties to 
 leave Johnstown, the Finance Committee on July 8th adopted resolu- 
 tions thanking him for his services to our suffering people, performed 
 in such a manner as to receive universal commendation. Captain 
 George C. Hamilton succeeded him in charge of the State forces, 
 mainly engaged upon the debris, this work being continued under the 
 direction of the State Board of Health until October 12th, when it 
 finally ceased. After this date the administration of all relief work 
 and almost all the expense attending it devolved upon the Finance 
 Committee. Representations were made to the Flood Commission 
 that this was regarded by the Finance Committee as a part of the 
 proper expenses of the Commission itself, and that the Finance Com- 
 mittee considered it right that it should be either placed in funds for 
 this purpose or should be reimbursed for the outlay. The informal 
 assurances received were satisfactory, but the accounts have not been 
 recognized by the Flood Commission, upon the grounds that it ap- 
 peared to them as a matter of indifference whether these expenses 
 should be paid out of the local or general fund. The Finance Com- 
 mittee has been, therefore, burdened with the charge of the Morgue, 
 the Fire Department, the Bureau of Inquiry, the Committee for the 
 Distribution of Lumber, the Committee for the Distribution of 
 Houses, the Committee for the Care of Valuables, and other expenses 
 of this nature. 
 
 The care of the Fire Department was especially onerous ; the old 
 fire engines loaned to us by the City of Philadelphia being of such a 
 character that, although invaluable at the time, they needed to be 
 constantly fired to be available in case of necessity. The situation 
 was so favorable for a general conflagration, in case of a fire breaking 
 out, that the large expense involved in keeping these engines con- 
 stantly manned with competent engineers and firemen was deemed 
 justifiable, and it was necessarily continued until the reorganization of 
 our fire companies could be effected and apparatus could be procured 
 for them. 
 
 The wages paid for different classes of relief work were high, and 
 in some cases clerical work received higher wages than the Finance 
 Committee thought was proper, but an effort made by the Finance 
 Committee to carry on the work under a reduction of pay was found 
 to be impracticable, and relief from this tax could only be obtained 
 by closing up the different departments as rapidly as possible.

 During the disability of Judge Cummin, J. B. Kremer, Sec- 
 retary of the Fljod Commission, was assigned to duty in Johnstown, 
 and after Judge Cummiu's death he remained in sole charge, all busi- 
 ness with the Flood Commission being transacted through him, except 
 in a few instances of meetings between the Finance Committee and 
 the Flood Commission, or its sub-committee. 
 
 Under a resolution adopted by the Johnstown Borough Councils, 
 the Commission erected buildings on the Public Square for the free 
 use of business men to whom they were allotted, and these buildings 
 on August 2d were turned over to the Finance Committee. 
 
 The Committee being of the opinion that a prompt distribution of 
 all money in the hands of the Flood Commission appropriated to 
 Johnstown was in every way desirable, on August 14th a conference 
 was held between a special committee of the Flood Commission, the 
 Board of Inquiry, and the Finance Committee, the Flood Commission 
 being represented by Messrs. Ogden and Beeves. At this meeting a 
 plan of final distribution, prepared by a sub-committee of the Board 
 of Inquiry and Board of Finance, was adopted, after a full discussion, 
 for presentation to the State Commission. This plan suggested, in the 
 first instance, a provision for widows and orphans and the helpless 
 and dependent classes, without regard to their pecuniary losses. This 
 being done, all other flood sufferers were to be classified in accordance 
 with their needs, and to receive a percentage of their losses propor- 
 tioned thereto, this percentage being high for the most necessitous, 
 who in some cases would be wholly repaid, and diminishing equitably 
 from class to class, rated as being less necessitous. The Commission 
 authorized a trial statement to be made up by the Board of Inquiry, 
 the preparation of which involved a great deal of time and labor. 
 Upon its coming in, important modifications were made by the Com- 
 mission, and new conditions were imposed from time to time, involving 
 revisions of the work. This delay was occasioned in part by a desire 
 to obtain a sort of ideal perfection, which in the nature of things was 
 impossible, and in part to favor to the largest extent the masses of 
 most necessitous people, a result which was in the main accomplished. 
 
 It having been proposed by the Finance Committee to secure to 
 the community protection against fires by the reorganization of the 
 fire companies, and by supplying them with apparatus, and it also be- 
 ing necessary for the Finance Committee to pay the expense of prompt 
 reconstruction of the temporary bridges liable to be washed away by 
 floods, it was deemed proper that all of these matters should be re- 
 ferred to a citizens' meeting, which accordingly was called and held on 
 September 28,. 1889. The meeting was called to order by John 
 
10 
 
 M. Rose, and was presided over by James Quinn, with vice presi- 
 dents representing each of the flooded districts. After a full discus- 
 sion the following resolutions were adopted : 
 
 Whereas, The matter of keeping open communication between the differ- 
 ent parts of these valleys by means of our bridges is an imperative need to the 
 citizens of the various boroughs congregated here ; and 
 
 Whereas, Our boroughs, as such, have not the means of replacing the 
 bridges, and our Board of Trade, Finance Committee, and various local com- 
 mittees appointed for the purpose have, as a result of careful discussion, come 
 to a common conclusion as to what is needed, but find that the task of putting 
 their conclusions into effect is beyond the scope of individual subscription, or 
 corporate means as matters now stand, and likely to remain so for some years 
 to come ; and 
 
 Whereas, This question is one that so mutually interests every part of the 
 community that to put it properly into effect separate borough interests must 
 be subordinated to the general interest of the whole community, and all sec- 
 tions must be treated fairly and alike ; ,now, therefore, be it 
 
 Resolved, First — That this meeting, consisting of representatives from 
 Cambria City, Coopersdale, Millville, Prospect, Johnstown, Conemaugh, 
 Woodvale, East Conemaugh, Franklin, and Grubbtown Boroughs, and adjoin- 
 ing districts, does declare itself the representative of the whole community of 
 thirty thousand people gathered here. 
 
 Resolved, Second — That the following principles, in the judgment of this 
 meeting, should govern the handling of this bridge question, to wit : 
 
 A — That there now exists no reason why the proper width and depth of 
 our rivers, to prevent the periodical floods that have of late years visited us, 
 should not be at once taken up and settled. 
 
 B — That this community will not sanction the rebuilding of permanent and 
 costly bridges until this question has been properly settled. 
 
 C — That immediate action should be taken, pending the settlement of this 
 question, to devise and apply some economical means to make them available 
 for winter use, but that such reconstruction should at this time only be carried 
 out as a temporary speedy expedient, to put us safe for the winter. 
 
 D — That, as our local organizations are unable to find means to meet these 
 needs, the work will have to be undertaken by the community as a whole. 
 In order to follow out these principles, we do further 
 
 Resolved, Third — That we request and authorize our Local Finance Com- 
 mittee to engage competent engineers to study the question of the width and 
 depth of our rivers and submit a report on this question. 
 
 Resolved, Fourth — That we request and authorize our Local Finance Com- 
 mittee to at once appropriate sufficient of the money in their hands to cover 
 the expense of making the present temporary structures safe for the winter, 
 and to immediately have the work done. 
 
 Resolved, Fifth — That as some central authority is positively necessary in 
 order to receive and pass upon the proposed plans and reports on the question 
 of our rivers, it is the sense of this meeting that consolidation of the various 
 boroughs at the November election is the most feasible means to this end. 
 
 Resolved, Sixth — That if the popular vote at said election should pass 
 favorably upon consolidation, and so create a central and representative au- 
 
11 
 
 thority, which will be a guaranty that all sections will be treated fairly and 
 alike, we do further authorize and request the Local Finance Committee to ap- 
 propriate such sums as maybe needed to erect permanent bridges of the proper 
 width. 
 
 Resolved, That we hereby approve of the proposed action of our Local 
 Finance Committee in purchasing fire engines for the different fire companies. 
 
 These resolutions are the authority under which the Finance Com- 
 mittee has acted in appropriating its funds for the purchase of fire 
 apparatus, and they also clearly set forth the duty of the Finance 
 Committee in regard to the surveys of the rivers, fixing the conditions 
 upon which an appropriation of the funds in its hands for the erec- 
 tion of bridges may be made. Pursuant to these resolutions, a com- 
 petent Engineer, Carl Schenk, fully endorsed by Colonel Merrill, 
 in charge of the Ohio River surveys, as being entirely competent, 
 Was employed by the Finance Committee. He has defined the section 
 of the rivers necessary to guard against floods, and his reports and 
 maps received by the Finance Committe have been submitted to the 
 city authorities. 
 
 Purchases of apparatus for fire companies and the Hook and 
 Ladder Company were negotiated by a committee consisting of repre- 
 sentatives of the Finance Committee and of the fire companies, 
 with James McMillen as President of the joint committee, and 
 Alexander Kennedy as its Secretary, and on November 15th Mr. 
 McMillen reported the reorganization of our home fire companies, the 
 transfer to them of the temporary use of the Philadelphia fire engines, 
 with reduction of expenses by the dissolution of the general fire de- 
 partment, for which there was substituted a detail of two men from 
 each of the companies to take charge of its engine, which expense 
 ceased upon the delivery to the companies of their new apparatus. 
 
 Owing to growing impatience in the delay of the distribution of 
 money in the hands of the Flood Commission, it was deemed advis- 
 able to make public the correspondence between the Finance Commit- 
 tee, the Board of Inquiry, and the Flood Commission of October 18th 
 and 19th, and to the representation by the Finance Committee made 
 to the Flood Commission that further delay in making distribution of 
 the money in its hands would be unjustifiable. 
 
 A large number of claims for services rendered during the differ- 
 ent administrations of relief were presented from time to time to the 
 Finance Committee, and payment very urgently requested. Quite a 
 number of claims of this nature were also turned over to the Finance 
 Committee by Secretary Kremer, with the request that the Finance 
 Committee would investigate and settle the same. In view of the 
 great difficulty of ascertaining the facts, and the desire, of the Finance 
 
12 
 
 Committee that all just claims should be paid, it was deemed best to 
 refer these suspended matters to an auditing committee, consisting of 
 H. W. Storey, Herman Baumer, aud E. W. Trautwein. Notice of 
 the appointment of this committee was given, and after a patient ex- 
 amination and hearing it made its report, and all claims which it ap- 
 proved were promptly paid. 
 
 The Committee to take custody of valuables recovered from the 
 debris, appointed during the administration of Director Scott, was em- 
 barrassed by the difficulty of procuring any place of safe custody, and 
 for a considerable time the members of the Committee were obliged to 
 act as a guard. Several of the members retired after short periods 
 of service, and the Committee was finally reorganized, consisting of 
 Louis Baumer, Taylor Gallagher, and a clerk, with such assistants as 
 were found necessary. All articles which might lead to the identifi- 
 cation of persons who lost their lives in the flood were carefully pre- 
 served, whether they were of value or not, and constantly open to ex- 
 amination by the public. 
 
 On June 13, 1890, the Committee authorized the publication of a 
 notice for thirty days that all unclaimed flood relics remaining in the 
 hands of the Committee would be sold at public auction, and after the 
 expiration of this notice the articles were sent to the Henry Auction 
 Company, of Pittsburgh, for sale, the proceeds of sale to be appro- 
 priated by the Committee to the fund for a monument to the Un- 
 known Dead. 
 
 Very soon after its organization, the attention of the Committee 
 was directed to the matter of procuring, if possible, Government aid 
 in dredging the rivers and removing from them the large amount of 
 silt and rock and other flood debris which obstructed them. It was 
 decided by the State authorities that no expenditure on this account 
 would be made from the funds in the hands of Governor Beaver, but 
 numerous tenders of assistance in procuring an appropriation from the 
 United States Government were made to the Committee. At the re- 
 quest of the Committee, Governor Beaver' opened up correspondence 
 with the War Department, which, however, was barren of results. A 
 preliminary report of Carl Schehk, showing the condition of the rivers 
 and the amount of work required upon them' to restore them to a safe 
 condition, placed this matter apparently in good shape for action. A 
 joint committee of the Board of Trade and the Finance Committee 
 proceeded to Washington and had a full conference with the Pennsyl- 
 vania Representatives and Senators and other friends in Congress. 
 They made a report of their mission to the Board of Trade and the 
 Finance Committee, and have since been advised that the efforts of 
 
13 
 
 our friends in Congress to secure an appropriation by amendment in 
 the Senate of the River and Harbor bill have not been successful. 
 
 One of the first resolutions adopted by the Committee was that its 
 members should serve without compensation, and it has performed its 
 work with expenses for a single clerk (James N. Rea) and one person 
 (Jacob Sharretts) to act as messenger and watchman. 
 
 Having discharged all its obligations and employes, the Commit- 
 tee appointed Messrs. E. W. Trautwein, Herman Baumer, and H. W. 
 Storey to audit its accounts, with power to employ expert assistants, 
 and on July 29, 1890, it vacated the rooms which it had occupied, 
 and adjourned to meet at the call of the Chairman. 
 
 The city having complied with the conditions upon which the 
 Committee was authorized to appropriate funds for the erection of 
 bridges, the sum of $75,000 has been turned over to the City Treas- 
 urer, to be expended in the erection of the four bridges regarded as 
 of most importance to the public, this being their estimated cost. 
 
 The money derived from the sale of recovered valuables, and 
 other money received from the Committee on Valuables, as stated 
 in the report of the Auditors, has been reduced by the allowance of a 
 claim upon it to $1,985 49, which will be appropriated to the erection 
 of a monument to the Unknown Dead. 
 
 The occupation of buildings upon the Public Square will termi- 
 nate by limit of time in the ordinance allowing its use, and notices 
 have been served by the city authorities and by the Finance Commit- 
 tee upon all occupants to quit the same. It is proposed by the Fi- 
 nance Committee to dispose of the material in these buildings to the 
 best advantage, and to expend the money received by them in, at 
 least, a partial restoration of the Public Square to its original condi- 
 tion. 
 
 The Committee reports herewith a detailed account of all contri- 
 butions received from every source, and of the character and amount 
 of all expenditures. The very ample report of their transactions 
 made by the Flood Commission and the Pittsburgh Relief Committee 
 renders it unnecessary for this Committee to enter at large into a his- 
 tory of the great charity shown to Johnstown, and of its general 
 administration. 
 
 We should close this report with some adequate expression of our 
 sense of the extraordinary manifestation of sympathy for the people 
 of Johnstown under their great calamity. We find this to be impos- 
 sible. The money contributions for the relief of Johnstown exceeded 
 in magnitude and in variety of their sources anything of this nature 
 which the world has ever witnessed. But this was not all. So many 
 
14 
 
 men and women came personally to our relief, making a sacrifice of 
 their time and health in their voluntary and unrewarded service, that 
 to attempt to mention them would be unkind, for many of the most 
 deserving would be omitted. To one and all we can only say that a 
 few trivial manifestations of petulance and discontent, and occasional 
 misrepresentations of the motives and conduct of those engaged in 
 relief work, do not represent the feeling of the Johnstown people, 
 which is one of profound gratitude for the charity which fed and 
 clothed the helpless survivors of the flood, which tended their sick 
 and wounded, and recovered and gave decent burial to thousands of 
 their dead, and which has aided them to begin life anew with help in 
 caring for their broken families and restoring their ruined homes.

AUDITORS' REPORT. 
 
 To James McMillen, Esq., Chairman Finance Committee. 
 
 Dear Sir : The undersigned, having been requested to audit the account 
 of contributions received and disbursements made by the Finance Committee 
 of this city, respectfully report that we have performed the duty and herewith 
 present a statement of the account, which shows the sum of $357,092 64 as being 
 received from all sources, and the sum of $335,623 95 as having been paid out,
