CONSERVING RESOURCES
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) HASTINGS, 10th February. In an official statement issued to the Press Association by Mr. C. H. Slater, the food committee gives an unqualified assurance that every precaution is being taken to conserve food and other relief resources at the disposal of the committee, and to ensure that all relief will be administered without extravagance. | ' ■ Mr. Slater states that a cash trading^ system is being evolved, and.in no case's have contributed goods been sold, excepting luxuries and semi-luxuries which would enable necessaries to be bought with the proceeds... • Ninety-five per cent, of the relief supplies distributed are free? and the committee and the Government authorities are endeavouring to establish a system whereby all in need of relief will be registered as unemployed, and then employed as relief workers at a wage which will suffice for maintenance of reasonable comfort and for the purchase of necessaries of life.
