UNEMPLOYMENT FINANCE FIGURES FOR YEAR READY [Special to the ‘ Star.’] WELLINGTON, May 20. The Unemployment Board has just completed two days’ conference with the Minister, the Hon. Adam Hamilton, arid the financial position for the year was made available, enabling the board to complete its plans for the difficult period which has just been reached. Palmerston North and Auckland are the two centres in which the problems of administration are most urgent, and, following his usual practice, Mr Hamilton proposes to give these points his personal attention. He will be in Palmerston North on Tuesday, and, having been invited to address the Citizens’ Lunch Club, he will devote the talk to the sustenance arrangement, which has been so much criticised in that city. A few, days later the Minister will go to Auckland to confer with those concerned in unemployment relief.
