WORST FOR 49 YEARS
WELLINGTON UNEMPLOYMENT Press Association . WELLINGTON, Tuesday. The Mayor of Wellington, Mr. G. A. Troup, states that when he first asked for a £4,000 contribution for unemployed, he calculated that, on the men registered, this sum with a Government subsidy, would last for four months. Owing to the enormous increase of applications he now asks for £IO,OOO, of which £7,000 is already subscribed. It is alleged that there are still 1,000 men without work. Some new big roadworks are being started by the City Council, which will absorb a further number. The Mayor says that unemployment is more rife than for 20 years, but actually on the above figures the position is the worst for 40 years.
