FOOTBALL FINANCE
COSTLY PLAYING GROUNDS. “PAYING THROUGH THE NOSE.” [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON. March 18. • At the annual meeting of the Rugby Union last night the president (Dr Newman, ALP.) brought under the notice of the meeting the unsatisfactory state of the union's finances. The treasurer reported that a crisis had arrived in the history of the union. The position was due to* the fact that the union were obliged to paythrough the nose for playing areas follower grade matches. In his opinion, the cost of football would have to be raised. The receipts must be increased. The profit on Athletic Park last year was £1,155. That had been used to pay the rentals for other grounds. The matter was left in the hands of the incoming committee.
