NO. 5 SCHEME.

Mav I suggest, as an unemployed wo £ k " with heavy responsibilities who has > bee dependent on the above scheme since its inception and entirely without any other mean., that the levy be increased immediately i £3 per annum for all employed? If this wu ensure a full week's work at the present omj rate of pay the extra l&vy will more thanJiave justified itself. People in more secure una" cial positions could well afford a higher ipv. than three pounds per annum, which wow help the Government and themselves to F" through a difficult period. The *° rK fj* greater spending power must react to benefit of the higher levied man, as no wom*> least of all under the above scheme, could hoar -he must spend to exist. My work ta»«£ under the above scheme on the 6th or month, being the two and a half days 1 w entitled to work in that week as a Transpo , Board relief worker. We were instructcM report again for work on the 18th ot month; the scheme •■i'.shcs on the -Otlii o this month. A WORKER.
