COUNTERING UNEMPLOYMENT
SEVERAL city business firms have b'l9 weekly wages’ bills, but not many pay out £3OO every Friday. Yet that is almost the amount distributed by the Auckland Racing Club for its year ending June 30. In the twelve months the club distributed in wages £14,564 9s, so that racing alone has played no small part in reducing unemployment. With the Avondale and Takapuna Jockey Clubs, Franklin Club, Pakuranga Hunt Club, and the Auckland and Otahuhu Trotting Clubs, racing authorities in the city alone must be paying approximately £I,OOO weekly in wages.
