PATRIOTIC FUNDS
SYSTEM OF CONTROL COUNCILLORS’ OBJECTION FEELING IN RAGLAN COUNTY (Times Special Reporter) NGARUAWAHIA, Wednesday Dissatisfaction with the system under which patriotic funds are to be administered by central councils was expressed at a meeting of the Raglan County Council held in Ngaruawahia today. “Personally, I think there will be nothing like the success attained this time as during the last war when the work was done by local committees,” commented the chairman, Mr H. W. Wilson.
“It strikes me we are just going to be dictated to by big centres like Auckland,” said Mr L. C. Logan. Mr H. Johnstone said people were already chafing against a surfeit of governmental control, and the system of administering patriotic funds from a central committee savoured of further control. “This "idea of central control to eliminate waste may be all right in theory but does not work in practice,” he contended. Mr Wilson was appointed the council’s representative on the Auckland Provincial Patriotic Council.
