The Wanganui Borough Council is making efforts to obtain a loan for £3OOO in order to provide work for those men in the borough who are out of work. The work proposed by the council will have an important bearing on the future development of the borough, several street extensions being included in the proposal.' At a recent meeting of the council the town clerk stated that the borough engineer had informed him that 37 men were dispensed with a month or two ago who had been employed on relief works and that 14 members of the labouring staff had also been dismissed. Ho estimated that there Were between 40 and oO men | out of work in the borough. Ihe pro posed extensions would provide work for about 30 men.
