SHARING OF EXPENSES
Advice that farmers should not be provided with free labour at the expense of the Unemployment Fund unless they were definitely unable to find any cash contributions, was received at a meeting of the Makara County Council to-day in a letter from the Unemployment Board.
The letter stated that the board did not wish to interfere between local bodies and the farmers in their mutual arrangements for meeting the cost of materials, supervision, tools, transport, insurance, etc., but it desired local unemployment committees and county councils to arrange for the farmer to' bear some of the expense, if he could afford it, even, to the extont o£ a portion of the wages cost.
"The fact must not be lost sight of that the board's schemes are not for the benefit of the farmers, but for the benefit of the unemployed," stated the letter. "If farmers benefit it is incidental io the main object for which the Unemployment Fund was created." .The letter was received.
