FORGED TICKETS
FOR NHXT-OF-KIN. At the meeting of the Main Body Reception Committee in the Mayor's room at noon yesterday, Councillor W. H. P. Barber stated that up to 11.30 a.m. yesterday some 571 next-of-kin tickets had been applied for, and, 1 under ordinary circumstances, he did not anticipate that more than double that number would apply for lickots. One possible trouble was that there wero forged next-of-kin tickets being issued, a very good copy of the real one, but not altogether like it. Captai.i A r ine (Base Records) wanted to detect these tickets and their holdors, a.nd if the committee would agree, he proposed to station two clerks in uniform at the gangway to examine the tickets, and refuse admission to the holders ot' tho forged tickets. The forgery was not difficult to detect.. The officers knew tho numbers of their tickets. The forged tickets had no numbers. It was agreed that the course suggested bv Councillor Barber should be followed.
