NOT A GRANT
AUCKLAND UNEMPLOYED SUBSIDY STRONG DISSATISFACTION [Special to tiik ‘ Star.'] AUCKLAND, December 21. The Government has refused to alter its decision that the £2,000 promised as assistance in relieving the unemployed of Auckland over _ Christmas should be a subsidy on a similar contribution from tho City Council. A telegram was received from Sir Joseph Ward to that effect yesterday. “That is the end of it,” the mayor said last evening. ‘‘The reply is practically identical with the message wo received in the first place, and tho only thing the Premier's promise of assistance in time for Christmas has done has been to raise a strong feeling of dissatisfaction among unemployed. Men have- been waiting outside the Town Hall for the past three clays for news, and that is all we can give them. ’The City Council cannot do any more than it lias done. In anticipation of receiving a grant such ns was given to Christchurch, we put another fifty men on relief works on Monday.
