Members of the Board discussed the application yesterday. It was pointed out that this man, in common with the old age pensioners in the Home, had an allowance of ten shillings per month with which to buy tobacco, and so forth. And every old man there might fairly be expected to do any light work for the Home, as a c rf tin recompense for their maintenance.

The chairman said he would not, like that course adopted here. The , Poard could afford the money, and lie knew that very few of fh/> men spent their allowance unwisely, some of it being •'pooled'-' for little luxuries to vury the regulation dietary scale. The whole matter was deferred for u month, ine House Committee to investigate and report.
