In each case the ap-1 plicant had to fill in a form giving; details of his position and his application was judged on its merits. If he 1 had a car and could afford to run :!.. he would not, of course, be considered a Jit subject for relief, but if the car , wp<s laid up its possession by the ap- j plicant would not be likely to affect j his chance of being granted relief.] TK.UTIMi OF..
