MAY HAVE TO CLOSE
Men’s Shelter of City Mission APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC Because the Wellington City Mission is hard put to find sufficient money to, carry on its many activities, the city inissioner, the Rev. T. Fielden Taylor, fears that, unless sufficient funds are forthcoming to meet outgoings, the men’s .shelter will have to go. Mr. Taylor is greatly concerned over the financial difficulties of his mission. He stated yesterday that he would be forced to seek avenues of economy over and above the tight rein he keeps on expenditure, and it appeared that the only thing to do was to close the men’s shelter, thereby depriving 100 workless and downcast men of food and a roof over their heads. Despite every economy in management, Mr. Taylor went on, the bank overdraft had risen to £llOO, and other liabilities would add another £675. Mr. Taylor is urgently in need of the assistance of well-wishers of his mission, and he is appealing for their renewed generosity on behalf of men who, in their last extremity of ill-fortune, turn to him for succour.
