RESULTS FOR YEAR DOMINION POSITION “The Press” Special Service WELLINGTON, April 5. ::r T. N. Smallwood, chairman of the New Zealand National War Savings Committee, announced to-day that for the week ended March 31, all postal districts had been successful in obtaining their quotas. During the same period 234 places, including 17 of the 18 chief post office centres, had obtained their local quotas. This was 17 more than the number of successes scored for the preceding week, and was the highest result attained since the successful flotation of the Third Liberty loan. For the financial year ended March 31, 17 postal districts reached their full district quotas, while 169 towns obtained their annual quotas. This figure includes 16 of the 18 chief post office centres in New Zealand.
"Three months ago,” added Mr Smallwood, “only 125 places had been successful in obtaining the proportionate amounts of their annual quotas, and the lifting of the results in the final figures to the splendid total of 169 successful towns was due to the enthusiasm and prodigious amount of work put in by local committees and organisers over’the last three months. On behalf of the New Zealand committee,” continued Mr Smallwood, “I would like to take this opportunity of thanking all national savings depositors, the committees, and organisations throughout New Zealand, for the success they have achieved for the financial year just ended. The national Committee looks forward wilh confidence to their continued support,”
