LOCAL BODIES AND CHARITABLE AID.

RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURE. The statement of receipts an d expenditure of the Wellington and Wairarapa Charitabe Aid Board for the year ending 31st March, 1909, was placed before members at the last meeting of the board.

Carterton, again, contributed £22 9s and expended £143 15s 4d, and afe Mauriceville, where the County Council's contribution was £52 Is, it received from the board £l7O 14s Id.
