WELLINGTON RECEIVING HOME.
* —= COST OF MAINTENANCE. By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, March 21. At the meeting of the Wellington and Wairarapa Charitable Aid Board, to-day, Mr A. W. Hogg, M.H.R., took exception to the increase in the cost of maintaining the Wellington Receiving Home. Last year the amount was £2,324, and this year the sum required was £3,500. He thought possibly it would be better if there was no home at all. Some members explained that the increase in the cost was owing to the increased number of children sent to the home. The chairman said that the State was giving a chance in life to children who would not otherwise get one. Ultimately it was resolved that in the opinion of the Board it was desirable that increased care should be taken to see that parents, guardians and relations are brought face to face with their natural obligations.
