SAILORS’ HOME
DECREASE IN ATTENDANCE The financial report for February, submitted at a meeting of the council of the Auckland Sailors’ Home last evening, shewed a striking decrease in the average daily attendance at the home, which was estimated at 21.78 boarders, the lowest since November 1928. Funds had also decreased, being largely due to the number of boarders v\;bo were unemployed and unable to pay. The* council decided to make an agremeent with the Flying Angel Missions to Seamen regardnig the joint administration of two halls, to be erected for missionary work in connection with seamen. One, for the •holding of Anglican services, is to be erected in Sturdee Street, and the other, to be used for religious services of all denominations, is to be erected on tho site of the present institution in Albert Street. Although the Missions to Seamen was an Anglican institution, it was the | aim of the Sailors’ Home to make proj vision for all religions. The Hon. C. J. Carrington, M.L.C., and Mr. W. M. Jackson were appointed J to the council.
