Council grants allocated
Organisations applying for Metropolitan Grants Committee allocations next year should apply for the minimum rather than exaggerate the request, Cr D. J. Rowlands said when proposing the schedule of grants for the 1981-82 financial year. Grants totalling $205,000 were adopted by the Christchurch City Council’s grants sub-committee last evening. Cr Rowlands said that many groups believed that the sub-committee would automatically vote only a portion of the application. “The sub-committee has tried to give the full amount requested where there is evi-
dence that this is justified,” he said. More than $1.2 million was requested. Five organisations dealing with the disabled received support. The sub-committee considered that Telethon funds should be regarded as additional. Among groups to receive the main share of the allotted money were: Christchurch Arts Festival, $4418; Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, $5890; Court Theatre, $4418; Theatre Royal Trust, $5890; Canterbury Aged People’s Welfare Council, $4712; Salisbury Street Foundation, $1178; Ferrymead Trust, $17,352.
