FOXTON PATRIOTIC SOCIETY
The following report will be submitted at the annual meeting of the Foxton Patriotic Society, to be held in the Borough Council Chambers at 8 p.m. on Thursday next, 27th inst.:—
“Ladies and Gentlemen: —Your Committee has much pleasure in submitting to you the annual report for the twelve months just ended. The work of the Committee has not diminished to any appreciable extent during the year. It its found that cases are constantly recurring, and as will be seen from the account, grants to soldiers and their depend-; ants'amount to £196 16s 7d, averaging roughly £4 per week. Outstanding loans to soldiers amount to £679' 8s 7d. The decision of your Committee to amalgamate the Fund' with that of the War Funds Council was reached after this proposal had received careful consideration. It will be remembered that the question was* first raised on the 18th April, 1918; It has thus taken four years to decide this step, but your Committee is quite satisfied that in due course the War Funds Council will control all War Funds. The function of the Society will in no way be suspended, inasmuch as a local advisory committee will be set up, arid will consider and deal with all applications coming before it, operating on an Imprest account at the Bank, the funds not in use at the time being invested by the War Funds Council, and credited to the account.- The Aeting-Officer-in-Charge of the War Funds Office in Wellington met the Committee, and the whole matter was thoroughly thrashed out until agreement was reached. In all other respects the policy of the Society has remained unchanged.” •
