WORK TICKETS.
At the meeting of the Unemployed ComKee on Friday a very practical resolution l^^ mc to, On the 8n of the Rev. .fIW one which it is to be hoped h: wfao desire to assist will help to tot.
ward as much as possible. This is the issue of three day work tickets at a cost of 13s 6d, or 4a 6d per diem. Any one purchasing these can use the labour in his own garden or about his place in any way, or he can send tbe person to whom he gives the ticket to the local body, who will provide work to the extent of the ticket or tickets presented. One good thing about the help dispensed in this way as distinguished from monetary help direct to the applicant is that one is sure the money will not be expended in aay way but a reproductive one. The city will be the gainer by the result of the labour expended in the ornamentation of it, and the recipient will also be benefited to the extent of the amount earned. Ix is understood that the Mayor will have some tickets prepared as early as possible, and no doubt he will uotify how and where they are to be obtained by those wishing to purchase them. In the meantinte the method is commended to the attention of those who have the laudable wish to make their charity a practical thing.
