CHARITABLE AID AFFAIRS
POSITION ACUTE. It* tILtQUAPB*r#t>SCI&L TO TH* POST.) , WAIHI, This Day. The position with regard to charitable aid affairs in Waihi has become acute. TKo chairman of the board last night waited on the Borough Council, which is the only contributing body, and explained that the board would be £450 to the bad afc the end of this month, and that it was estimated, on present information, that the board would want £1000 before the end of the year. He pointed out that twenty wives of strikers now in gaol, and thirty children, had been making application for relief, the contention being that strike pay ceased when the men went to gaol. He suggested that the council send a delegate to Wellington to get an advance from the department. The council was not prepared to act hurriedly in the matter owing to a doubt concerning the genufness ot recent appeals for aid. Consideration of the question was deferred.
