WAR RELIEF FUNDS
Investigation Being Made of Administration SPECIAL COMMITTEE Dominion Special Service. Napier, July 23. The administration of war relief funds in New Zealand, amounting to £750,000, is being investigated by a special committee, said the Hon. IV. E. sßarnard, who is chairman of the committee, to-day. The committee comprises members of Parliament and returned soldiers’ representatives, and it. is expected that it will present its report to the Government before the close of the year. A suggestion that representatives of the Hawke’s Bay War Relief Association and the Napier Returned Soldiers’ Association should hold a conference to devise some means of overcoming the overlapping which he claimed occurred under the present system was made by Mr. G. B. Menzies at a meeting of the war relief association. Mr. Menzies, who represents the returned soldiers on the Napier branch of the war relief association, also considered the cost of administration was far too high. Mr. Menzies' suggestion led to a defence of the policy pursued by the association.
