"GOING CONCERN" FARMS
WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED. MINISTER SYMPATHETIC. CIVIC LEAGUE'S PROJECT. (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") WELLINGTON, this day. There is a likelihood of a unique development taking place in connection with the unemployed problem. Suitable men may be placed 011 small farms which are "going concerns."' The project originated with the Auckland Civic League, which convened a conference of local bodies to consider its plans to provide for unemployed men what are described as "going concern farmlets." The assistance of the Minister of Lands was requested, and Mr. McLeod has expressed the opinion that the Government will provide 1000 acres of land for this scheme, and subsidise the money raised for placing settlers on these small areas, if the scheme is undertaken by a properly-constituted body.
