UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, —Having .noticed “ One of the Victim’s ” letter in a previous paper, I wish to agree with his report. [ myself am another victim, and I think it is fairly hard to be told one thing and on arrival at our destination find it an entirely different proposition. _ I herewith set forth a rough estimation as to what my living expenses are per week: Bread! 2s 9d, butter Is 4Jd, tea Is 3d, meat 4s, sugar 6d, oatmeal 6d, jam Is 6d, potatoes, tobacco, and matches 2s; total (approximately), 15s. allowance, £1 per week ; balance, ss. This account will give some idea as to the magnificent amount I have left with which I am expected to keep myself in clothes and footwear. If the menjbers of the Unemployment Board think they could do it why-don’t they leave-their office and try rabbiting under No, 11 scheme? —I am, etc., Another Victim. January 16. •
