ONUS ON LOCAL BODIES
IMPORTANCE OF PRODUCTIVE WORK
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
(By Telegraph.—Pres3 Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
Forty married relief workers, each With three or more children, have been dismissed from work at the Mount Albert Grammar School because, owing to lack of funds, the school is unable to pay for their, insurance. Meanwhile the Unemployed Association is calling on all local bodies and social organisations to use their power to have the 50 per cent, sustenance cut restored. Mr. J. S. Jessep, deputy-chairman of the Unemployment Board, who was in Auckland to-day, said the Minister's idea was that local bodies could not divorce themselves from responsibility for their own citizens. Mr. Jessep said that if productive work was not available in the cities and was available in the country, then it was in tho interests of the men that they should undertake country work. It had to be remembered that the sources from which the unemployment funds were drawn might tend to dry up if work' of productive value was not done. '
