-------------------------

The Rehabilitation Committee, from this time on, will separate its work under two distinct divisions; one established for a limited period and designed to meet the needs of self-supporting families, who cannot, within the means at their command, obtain necessary household furniture or secure homes suitable to live in; the other established on a relief basis, and designed to meet the needs of families who, on account of illness or other misfortune, are for the time being incapable of self-support.

Under Division One, applications for housing and household furniture will be considered.

(a) HOUSING: The Committee has arranged with several contractors to build four and five roomed cottages, with plumbing installed, at prices ranging from $300 to $800. Any self-supporting man or woman, who is the head of a household, and who, as the result of the disaster, is unable to obtain suitable housing accommodations at rent within his means, can arrange to buy one of these cottages. If he is unable to pay the entire cost, the Committee will make part payment, and when necessary can arrange that the other part may be paid by the purchaser in monthly installments. Not more than $50 in ready money is therefore needed in order to enable any family to take advantage of this offer, and the monthly payment on both house and lot will not exceed the ordinary rent. The Committee is also ready to help those who are building cottages according to their own plans, provided the total cost does not exceed $750. The Committee believes that many families would do well to avail themselves of this offer to obtain a house of their own at small cost. Applications will be received by mail only and should be directed to the “Housing Committee.”

(b) HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE. Applications will be received from families who are self-supporting and have suffered material loss from the disaster. The income and present resources must be insufficient to enable the family to get necessary household furniture within a reasonable time, without incurring burdensome debt. No application under this head will be received from anyone to whom the Committee has already made a grant. Applications will be received by mail only. Write for a blank to Gough and Geary streets. Mark envelope “Furniture Application.” No such applications will be received after January 31st, 1907.

Division Two is organized on the basis of relief. Applications will be received only from families who, through circumstances beyond their control, are incapable of self-support, and whose applications, even under normal conditions, would be received by any regularly organized relief society. No grants will be made to single persons capable of self-support, to families where the husband is earning practically the same wages as he did before the fire and is capable of supporting those dependent upon him, or to those who have made no plans for the future and who ask for money simply to meet the ordinary every-day expenses.

Anyone in need of relief should call at the offices between nine and ten any morning except Saturday. Applications for relief are not received by mail.

=N. B.--After January 31st [1907], no application will be received under division one except for Housing, and no grant will be made to self-supporting families. This rule will be strictly adhered to.=

San Francisco,

Dear

has made application to avail himself of the offer of this
Committee to assist in the refurnishing of homes, an offer which you
have probably seen in the daily papers, and has given your name to us
as his principal reference.

In sending you this letter, the Rehabilitation Committee urges you to
consider that the great majority of those who apply for relief are
strangers to the Committee, and that it cannot deal with their
applications either justly or quickly unless those who do know them
are willing to consider themselves as in a sense trustees of this
fund, and to share with the Committee some of the responsibility of
its administration.

In this present investigation, the Rehabilitation Committee expects to
rely largely upon the information it receives from the references of
applicants, and therefore deems it especially important to emphasize
at this time its need for accurate and full information. Anything that
is written is regarded as entirely confidential.

O. K. CUSHING,
Acting Chairman.

LAND AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT. NOTICE[308]

CIRCULAR 1-B.

THE SAN FRANCISCO RELIEF AND RED CROSS FUNDS (a corporation) is prepared to receive applications for assistance from its Land and Building Department under any of the three plans following:

(1) BONUS: To any lot owner in the burned district a bonus of
one-third the cost of a new house, bonus not to exceed $500, will be
given to aid him in erecting a home. This bonus will be paid to the
contractor as his last payment, and after the building is finished. If
lot owner chooses to erect his home with his own hands, the value of
the house will be estimated when it is finished and one-third its
value will be given to the lot owner. The sum of $500,000 has been set
aside for this purpose. This offer to remain open until October 1,
1906, unless fund is exhausted before that date. No more than one
bonus to be paid to one person.

(2) PURCHASE (Cash or Installment): Cottages, two-story dwellings and
flats will be built by the corporation and sold for cash or on the
installment plan, and no interest will be charged on deferred
payments. A small cash payment down and a percentage of total cost to
be paid monthly. To illustrate: A home-seeker wishing to buy a $300
lot with a $600 house on it (containing four rooms and bath) can
purchase it from the corporation at cost as follows: Monthly payments
of $15 to be made for sixty months; 5 per cent of the total cost ($45)
to be paid down, when a receipt will be given for the payments
covering the first three months; then a payment of $15 a month to be
made for the remaining fifty-seven months. Taxes will be paid by the
corporation and charged to the purchaser. When the $900 and taxes have
been fully paid, a deed will be given. The contract of purchase will
be non-assignable. A sum not exceeding $2,500,000 will be set aside
for this purpose. Any head of family who resided in San Francisco
before April 18, 1906, and now engaged in some business or employment
is eligible to apply, preference being given to those now living in
tents.

(3) LOANS: Not exceeding $500,000 will be used in making loans to
those--whether owners or tenants--whose places of residence in San
Francisco were burned in the fire, such loans to be used in building
new dwellings anywhere in San Francisco on a lot owned by the person
to whom such loan is made, such loan to equal one-third of the cost of
the building, not, however, to exceed in any case $1,000, and no more
than one loan is to be made to any one person or family. Security for
such loan is to be taken by way of first or second mortgage upon
the building and lot if necessary, the borrower to pay 3 per cent net
interest. This offer to remain open until the first day of October,
1906, unless this appropriation of $500,000 is sooner exhausted.

Applicants are required to use the blank provided for the particular kind of assistance desired in each case.

=No applications will be received except by mail.=

Applications will be investigated and acted upon as rapidly as possible, and in the order of their receipt.

THOMAS MAGEE,
Chairman Land and Building Department,
UNION SQUARE, San Francisco.
