The Department of Lands and Buildings had completed its work.
Tent camp, opened May 9, 1906
Cottages
Camp No. 10, Potrero District
The Department of Finance and Publicity, with a small force, was making the settlements incidental to the closing of the camps and the refunding of instalments to tenants. It was also preparing its financial report.
The Department of Camps and Warehouses had removed cottages from all the public squares but Lobos, where but 479 cottages and 1,287[37] persons remained. This camp sheltered the poorest refugees.[38] Stricter sanitary measures could be enforced here and care be given more cheaply than if the inmates had been removed to cottages on private land. Bubonic plague in this camp as well as elsewhere in the city had made precaution necessary.
[37] The number being the same as that given in [Part VI], [p. 324], as the total number of persons at Ingleside Camp, is a mere coincidence.
