Travelling expenses.—Otten pullers who become too old or too weak to pull rickshaws wish to return to their Rative districts and they apply for assistance in the form of travelling expenses for themselves and their families, When their physical inability to continue in their vocation is confirmed by one of the doctors, the Association provides them and their dependents sith steamboat passages and a small cash ssu which was later Axed at $5 for the puller and $2 for each of his depend ends, if any. Altogether 238 such eases have been handled up to September 30, 1936, and $1242.08 has been disbursed for the purpose, re-precenting 8 per cent. of the relief expenditure.
