The proposition submitted in this joint resolution is to extend his authority and allow him at his discretion to use a part of the fund. not to exceed the sum of $5.000. for the relief of those who have actually reached our shores and who are in a needy and impoverished condition. Some of them are American citizens. Some of them have announced their intention to become citizens. Others are refugees and are in need of the aid of the Government. The people of Tampa and other cities have helped them to the extent of their ability. They have helped those who have reached different points in Florida. but my information is that the amount of local aid is utterly insufficient to relieve the people who are needy and impoverished.
