HOME FOR THE AGED

AUCKLAND PROPOSAL

A £5000 FUND PLANNED

The question of the establishment of a home for elderly people who are in poor circumstances was considered at a special meeting of the Auckland Provincial Comforts Committee last evening. The chairman of the committee, Mr. R. Beckett, said the committee had for some time been aware of the need for such a home in which the aged and friendless could be cared for during their remaining years.

The secretary, Miss L. Moore, said the plight of some elderly people at present living in rooms was pitiful.

After a full discussion it was decided that the committee establish a home and that a- special, committee be set up to further the scheme. Mr. Gillespie and other members said that a special fund of about £5000 would be required to establish such a home, hut the appeal was one that should receive ready support from the public. On the motion of the chairman it was decided to launch an appeal for the establishment of the home.
