RED CROSS CAMPAIGN. PAPAKURA'S POSITION. Whether Papakura should be associated with Manakau County or with Franklin Coun'y in the prosecution of the Red Cross appeal for funds is apparently a matter of local dispute, the Town Board also complaining that they have been ignored in the arrangements already made although in other places it is the local authorities that are acting as promoters. At the meeting of the Town Board yesterday the Chairman (Mr R. M. Gillespie) gave details of the proposals made and adopted at the conference convened by the Franklin County Council held at Pukekohe last Friday, as reported elsewhere in this issue. A letter was also read from the Franklin County Council inviting the Board to co-operate in the Franklin scheme. The Chairman mentionod that he had informed Mr Bickford that the Town Board had been slighted. After discussion it was moved by the Chairman and agreed that the local executive of the Red Cross Carnival should be invited to meet the Board to-morrow evening in the hope that such a meeting would remove misunderstanding and would pave the way to an amicalbe settlement.
