That the City Council should take immediate steps to raise a loan of £25,000, to be subsidised by the Gov-, ernment, for the relief of unemployment was urged by a deputation from the Otago Labour Council which waited on the council at a meeting to-night. It was stated that there were 400 men out of work here and their dependants numbered about 600. Speakers also asked that standard rates be paid on any relief works started.
