TAYLOR MEMORIAL FUND.

We have received from the secretary, Mr J. M’Combs, Christchurch, lists for the Taylor Memorial Fund with a request that they should be posted up at this office for signature and have pleasure in so posting them. Anyone desirous of contributing can forward amounts through us. A very strong committee has been formed in Christchurch in connection with this fund and respecting the need for it, Mr W. H. Bishop, S.M., said at the Christ church meeting that “he remembered Mr Taylor as a loving and devoted son and a loving husband and father, and it was only in that he had given his talents for the public weal that be had not left adequate provision for the maintenance of his loved ones. His wife, five daughters and one son were not sufficiently well off to raise them above the worry of educational and other considerations, and no person present would wish to add to the sorrow and strain being endured by the widow, whom all wished to relieve as far as possible. Then the circumstances of his mother should also be considered. They would accept his assurance that it was necessary to establish such a fund to provide an adequate income so that the immediate effect of their friend’s death would not be so severely felt.”

In regard to publication of names of subscribers to the fund, it is the unanimous wish of the committee that only names of subscribers should be published, together with total amount subscribed, and that in no case should any individual subscription be announced. There will, therefore, be no announcement ot individual donations in these columns.
