POSITION IN AUCKLAND
(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") AUCKLAND, Bth December. "I was told by the Labour Department to-day that 2500 jobs are required to give anj'thing like an adequate supply of work to those seeking employment in Auckland at the present time," said Mr. W. K. Parry, M.P. for Auckland Central, to-day. Thinking there was a possibility that work might bo found for some men in the installation of the proposed standby power plant at Huntly, Mr. Parry telegraphed to the Minister of Public Works asking when that work was to be undertaken. Mr. Parry said the plight of single men on the unemployed list was particularly difficult. Naturally preference was given, to married men with dependants, and there appeared to be insufficient work to enable others to be engaged.
