The new administration of the Warsaw Jewish Community took over its duties today following a combined meeting of the old and new administrations, at which the former President, ex-Deputy Farbstein, member of the Zionist World Executive, surrendered his office formally to the new President, Mr. Elijah Mazur, the representative of the Agudath Israel. After the protocol was signed, ex-Deputy Farbstein delivered an address, in which he wished the new administration success in its work, and the new President, Mr. Mazur, thanked the retiring administration for its work.
The new administration then proceeded to business, the President explaining that the meeting had been called solely to consider the need of the poor Jewish population and to provide some relief for them for the coming festival of Tabernaclos. A motion was put to allocate a sum of 75,000 zlotys for the purpose, since the distress of the poor Jewish population of the city was so much more acute than in previous years, but finally it was decided to assign a sum of 50,000 zlotys and a committee was appointed to arrange for its distribution.
