UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF
NUMBERS DOUBLED CONCERN IN WELLINGTON Press Association. WELLIXGTON, To-day. Startled by the continued increase in the number of unemployed, the executive committee of the Mayor’s fund has decided to insist upon a six months’ residential qualification. By the end of next w’eek the city council alone will have put on 500 men, besides those for whom work has been found by the Government, and the boroughs of Hutt and Petone. There were 553 men on the register on Monday, and the number has since been largely added to. When the agitation first began, there were only supposed to be 557 on the lists, so that the number of applicants for relief has more than doubled.
