LATE SIR JOSEPH WARD
PROPOSAL TO ERECT MEMORIAL. INVERCARGILL, June 5. A hope that the Government would sponsor a Dominion-wide appeal for contributions for the purpose of erecting at Bluff a national memorial to Sir Joseph Ward was expressed by a deputation from the Bluff Borough Council which waited on the Minister of Internal Affairs (Mr P. A. de la Perrelle) today. Mr de la Perrelle said he, too, had been constantly approached on the subject right through New Zealand. He promised to placd the matter before the Prime Minister on his return to ’Wellington.
A meeting of the Wanganui Licensed Victuallers passed a resolution that the National Council of the licensed trade be requested to endeavour to obtain a postponement of the time for taking the licensing poll, the money so saved to the trade to be paid to the relief of unemployment funds.
