A statement was made at the • annual meeting of tlie Auckland Returned Soldiers' Association to the effect that returned soldiers in the employ <of tlie Auckland Harbour Board had liad their pay docked because they attended the celebrations on Anzac Day. A condemnatory resolution was passed by the meeting. Mr. H. I). Heather, 'chairman of tho Harbour Board, said on Saturday morning, that the statement was' entirely without foundation, and he could not understand how it came to be made. Not only was there no intention of docking the men's pay, but the pay-sheet for the current week had not been made out at the time the meeting was held, and therefore no one present at it was in a position to say that a deduction, had been made from any man's wages. Mrs. Lloyd, wife of tlie vicar of St. Michael's, Cricklewood (England),_ has collected nearly a. quarter of a million farthings towards the building of the pariah church'.
