£70,000 RAISED?
FOR NATIONAL GALLERY AND MUSEUM CAMPAIGN FOR LAST £30,000 When the Mayor (Mr. G. A. Troup) and his committee set out to secure for the national art gallery and museum project the £lOO,OOO requisite to ensure the receipt from the Government of a subsidy of a like amount, he stilted that the popular campaign to raise money from the public would not be launched until the committee was assured of £70.000 from large contributors. The Mayor has now called a meeting in connection with the project, to lie held in the Council Chamber on Tuesday evening next. The notice convening the meeting makes the statement: — “At this meeting a very encouraging statement will be made regarding the effort made up to the present, also the prospects of the scheme.” As no such meeting was to be called until a certain goal had been reached, there is no other conclusion to come to than that the sum of £70.000 has been raised for Wellington's great cultural monument.
