CITY RELIEF WORK
SEEKING STATE SUBSIDY PARK DEVELOPMENT PROCEEDS A scheme for the development and formation of Epsom Domain, involving an approximate cost of £9,000, and providing unemployment relief, has been placed before the City Council at the request of 110 petitioners of the district. 'J'HE city engineer has been instructed to prepare an estimate and plan of the work that can be undertaken for the relief of unemployment, this to be submitted to the district engineer of the Public Works Department for approval of a £1 for £1 subsidy. The work will then proceed, money being utilised from the Auckland Patriotic Association’s funds and the Government’s subsidy. During the council meeting last evening councillors urged the Parks Committee to plan work well ahead, because of the attractive proposition for having it done offered by the Government’s subsidy on unemployment relief work. A subsidy of £3OO from the Poppv Day fund, which was offered by the Returned Soldiers’ Association for the employment of ex-soldiers, on the condition that the council place them on work additional to that already on hand, is to be subsidised £1 for £1 and utilised by the council completion of the Domain tennis courts.
