PATRIOTIC FUND.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT. WELLINGTON, Thursday. A detailed financial statement submitted to the National Patriotic Fund Board to-day showed that contributions to the common fund totalled £156,059. Of this £92,000 had been spent on the provision of general comforts and amenities for the fighting services, and of the remaining £04,000 approximately £27,000 was required to meet further commitments, especially in connection with the fitting up of recreation huts at Waiouru, leaving a balance of £37,000. It would be seen, therefore, said the secretary and treasurer, Mr. Hayden, that the time for reimbursement of the fund was rapidly approaching. Provincial councils would have to be called upon very shortly to supplement the national fund from their funds, according to arrangements made.—(Press Assn.)
