RUSH AT AUCKLAND
A THOUSAND REGISTRATIONS
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Buoyed up with the hope of securing i immediate employment, men crowded the Government Unemployment Bureau this morning. Queues three and four deep overflowed into the street.' The attraction was the announcement that the Unemployment Board had granted subsidies totalling £2143 to the City Council. It is estimated that over 1000 men registered during the morning. The City Council will engage 80 men for a fortnight. Although this number is comparatively small, it is regarded as a good sign by the unemployed, and as an indication that the Unemployment Board is doing its utmost to open up work for as many as possible by Christmas.
