CHRISTMAS BOUNTY
PENSIONERS REMEMBERED RUSH TO COLLECT “All pensions usually payable on the 23rd of the month and family allowances will be payable before Christmas on December 21. Quite a bald notice this, but its appearance at the Wellesley Street Post Office some days ago lias been responsible for great jubilation among Auckland’s many pensioners, wlio kept a staff of nino paying clerks verV busy all yesterday. To cope with the eager claimants old age pensioners are being paid for the first two days at the Methodist Mission Hall in Airedale Street. It is expected, however, that there will be little left to pay out when the two days are past. In pensions annually New Zealand distributes over £2,500,000. It is estimated that about one-fifth of that total is circulated in the Auckland pension district, which extends from the North Cape to Mercer, and includes Coromandel and Thames. At Wellesley Street yesterday over £7,500 was distributed, and the rush to collect will probably be just as heavy to-day and on Monday.
