POPPY DAY MONEYS
The gazetting of notice that a loan of £4000 for the City Council's relief works had been approved has giveu rise to an impression that the £10,000 relief works loan, for which the council only recently made application, had been so reduced. That is not the position; the £4000 loan was applied for separately, as the sum required to complete the Hornsey road improvements, which work was commenced last winter as a relief work. Notice in respect of the £10,000 loan is not yet forthcoming.
It appears that the £400 given the council by the Returned Soldiers' Association from the Poppy Day Fund (and subsidised 30s in the £ by the council, making the amount £.1000) is not to be subsidised by the Government, though from a Ministerial statement certain funds made available by patriotic societies are to be augmented by.
