CHITS CRITICISED.
MERE SCRAPS OF PAPER
XO PROVISION AGAINST FRAUD
The chits that wore issued on Saturday night or early on Sunday morning we're scraps of yellow paper, with a number spelt out and duplicated in figures. Seventy were issued, each one entitling the holder to secure six seats. The criticism is now being levelled at the-Rugby Union that anybody so inclined can imitate a chit and "get away with it," as there is no stamp or initial on any of the scraps of paper. In fact, quite a number of the chits were copied by people in the queue, and no doubt there will be trouble if any of these is presented.
One member of the Returned Soldiers' Association informed a "Star" representative this morning that he received a chit as early as 10 p.m. on Saturday, while the last chit. No. 70. was issued, according to the holder, at 6.50 a.m. on Sunday.
' "Surely," said one of the chit holders, "the Rugby Union, as a business organisation, should have made provision to issue the chits on official paper, properly signed, to prevent anything in the nature of fraud."
