AUCKLAND'S UNEMPLOYED.
HOSPITAL BOARD’S HEAVY EXPENDITURE Auckland, January 19. The chairman of the Auckland Hospital B'oard stated last night that nearly two hundred persons in Auckland were receiving charitable aid. In nine months the board had spent £20,000 in relief or £6400 more than in the same period the previous financial year. Men applying for relief were decent hard working men, and could not get work. If that were the position now, he asked, what is it going to be next winter? If giving relief to unemployed was to be considered a duty of hospital boards the latter should have some say in the question ofe bringing immigrants to the Dominion. Cabinet had authorised half of the board’s claim for reimbursement of the amount spent on unemployed relief.
The board resolved to accept it, and press f(fo the payment of the balance on the Prime Minister’s return.
