NO GRANT
CRIPPLED CHILDREN SOCIETY VIEWS OF BOROUGH COUNCIL. The Masterton Borough Council decided last night not to make a grant to the Wairarapa branch of the New Zealand Crippled Children Society. A letter from the society asking the council for a grant was read to the meeting. It was explained by the Mayor, Mr T. Jordan, in response to a question by a councillor, that the society had £240 in the Post Office Savings Bank, and £l5 in the Union Bank, and the expenditure for the past year was £ll9. Councillor A. D. Low moved that no donation oe made. He said he hesitated to turn down a humanitarian object of this sort. The society had lived well within its income and perhaps there would be a greater need for assistance later on, when the society found that it funds were not going to stand up to the demands made upon them. Councillor G. W. Morice, in seconding the motion, said that turning down the society at present did not mean that the council would not do anything on another occasion. The financial position of the society, he said, seemed to be fairly sound.
