WELLINGTON, December 8

The sum of £12,000 from art union funds is being allocated by the Government as a Christmas gift to a number of philanthropic and kindred institutions in New Zealand. The money which forms the grants comes from the accumulated surplus profits of the £SOOO alluvial gold art unions conducted during the year. The practice has been for some tune to allocate £SOOO, after the drawing of each art union, to the various Mayoral relief funds of the Dominion. The balance of the profits is kept until a sufficient sum has been gathered for special distribution among needy institutions. “From written requests for assistance from institutions, I wish the sum now to be allocated were larger,” said the Minister for Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry) to-day, when announcing the grants.
