AUCKLAND'S GENEROSITY.

TRAVELLERS RAISE £534.

The subscription lists opened by the Mayor of Auckland, Sir Ernest Davis, and the. two Auckland newspapers for the King George V. National Memorial Fund are meeting with such excellent support that the £17,000 mark has been passed. A fine concerted effort by the Auckland Commercial Travellers and Warehousemen's Association on Saturday, when 150 members of the association, with a large fleet of motor cars, made a house-to-house canvass, was made in Auckland to give householders an opportunity of contributing to the fund. As a result £534 11/1 was subscribed, and the p-.oney has been handed over to the Mavor. * Sir Ernest said he wished to express publicly his deep gratitude to the commercial travellers for their effort, also to the householders for the way in which they had responded.
