The Relief and Aid Society releases more figures on its work. During the week ending November 25, it assisted 3,356 families, and the total number of families it has aided since the second week of October is 15,152. There are currently 790 families in the barracks the Society has constructed in various parts of the city.

It continues to be especially vigilant about communicable disease, with typhoid being the particular current concern.
