RELIEF OF UNEMPLOYED
PEOPLE FLOCKING TO CITY
(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") AUCKLAND, this day. With the setting in of winter the Auckland Hospital Board is beginning to feel anxious once inoro about how it is going to afford relief to the unemployed. The board's Belief Committee already has had proof that whole families have migrated from the South (as far down as Dunedin). From what some of these people told the committee, it would appear that they had heard of hundreds of empty houses being to let here at a low rent. .Referring to the board's difficulty in having to provide relief for people who do belong to tho Auckland district, tho chairman of the Relief Committee said that there was nothing more unfair in New Zealand to-day than the •saddling of a board with people from other parts of the Dominion. The Government had refused to give any grant whatever from the Consolidated Fund to recoup the Auckland Board for its abnormal expenditure on unemployment relief.
