NATIONAL SAVINGS

WEST COAST FIGURES During the two years that the National War Savings Committee has been functioning 15 offices in Westland have been included in the list. Recently, because in changes in population, Jackson’s Bay was deleted, while a week ago further changes were made in discontinuing the quotas for four railway offices, and in future no announcement will be made in respect of Ikamatua, Ngahere, Stillwater, and Moana. Future deposits from these offices will go to the nearest post office. The West Coast quota is now £1065 weekly, and last week there was a deficiency of £404/0/6, but the carry-over from previous weeks enabled Westland to reach its objective. Only Hokitika and Blackball . made investments in excess of quotas last week, but accumulated surpluses enabled Greymouth, Reeftqn, Ross, and Runanga, to gain their

quotas. Hokitika contributed £175 1/-, £5/1/- above its quota, and Blackball £52/17/-. 17/- above its quota. The investments of the other offices with deficiencies in parenthesis, were: Greymouth. £296/4/- (£260/16/-); Bnmneiton, £4l/17/- (£B/3/-); Kumara. £B/11/6 (£22/8/6); Otira. £5/10/- (£B/10/-); Reefton, £42 2/- ( £4O/18/-): Ross, £6/11/- (£25 ,9/-); Runanga, £26/1/-/(£74/19/-); Waiuta, £65/- (£2B/15/-).
