PATRIOTIC MEETING AT MOSGIEL
The Mayor of Mosgiel (Mr W. P. Hartstonge) presided at a meeting held in the Coronation Hall to inaugurate a campaign to raise funds for patriotic purposes. Ho gave a resume of the regulations governing the collection of moneys, and said that the District Centennial Committee automatically became a patriotic committee, but that it was desirable that this committee should be strengthened by additional members. Accordingly 12 members were elected, with power to add to their number. It was decided that the committee’s district should be that part of the Taieri Plain lying to the north of the Taieri River,_ including Mosgiel town, East Taieri, North Taieri, Wylie’s Crossing, Wingatui, and Wharc Flat. The chairman appealed for the full co-operation of the public in the work of raising funds for authorised patriotic purposes. Offers of assistance wore received at the meeting from the Returned Soldiers’ Association and the Taieri Highland Pipe Baud.
