HELPED HOME, BUT BACK AGAIN!
CHARITABLE AID PROBLEM JTek United I’bess Association.] WELLINGTON, October 28. The committee of tho Hospital Board two and a-half years ago paid half the return fare to England for a family which had failed to make good hero. When the committee offered to assist them they would not go unless all went. A week ago the same family turned up again, and applied for charitable aid. The husband at present is a patient in the hospital. A member of tho committee said they had come in for a windfall at Horae, and had used part of the money to return to New Zealand. How they got through tho Immigration Department members could not understand. The committee felt itself in a dilemma, as tho Government did not bring these people, out, but it decided to ask the Immigration Department to explain.
