WELFARE OF THE WORKMEN.
PROVISION OF HALL. The company intends gradually augmenting the number of workmen and the accommodation as required. The matter of entertainment for the Arapuni community has not been overlooked, and plans have been completed for a large hall, which the company purposes erecting between the permanent village and No. 1 (dam site) village. This hall will be large enough to seat 400 persons and has been designed for dances, concerts, picture entertainments, etc. While thus considering its workmen, the company has at the same time taken steps to resolutely suppress anything in the way of excessive drinking or gambling at Arapuni, and offenders in this regard are immediately dismissed from the company’s employ, while outsiders with undesirable intentions are treated; as trespassers on any land under the company’s jurisdiction. It is hoped in tliis way to maintain a proper standard of living and conduct. For Christmas and New Year the statutory holidays arc to be observed by the company’s staff. There will be no general closing down of work for a fortnight.
