MEN ANXIOUS TO BEGIN
SUBSIDISING WAGES (Special to THE SUN.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. There is now nothing to prevent an immediate beginning with the work on the Auckland War Museum, as the Government subsidy of £3,800 has now been approved. The Leader of the Oppositibn, Mr. H. E. Holland, has received a telegram from Mr. C. Lindsay, secretary of the Auckland Unemployment. Association, asking what was the prospect of expediting permission for the Auckland City Council to start on the war museum site at relief rates of pay. His association was subsidising wages to full trade-union rates. Three hundred men were anxious to start work and the money was available. Mr. M. J. Savage said last evening that the telegram had been referred to the Minister of Public Works, who replied that the Government subsidy of £3,800 had now been approved and the department had advised the Auckland office to that effect to-day.
