WAR LOAN QUOTA
INVESTMENT OF £20,000 HARBOUR BOARD VOTE (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. A decision to invest £20,000 in the Government’s £10,000,000 war loan was reached at a meeting of the Auckland Harbour Board, when a report by the finance committee was received in committee. “It is our plain duty to stand behind the Government in this loan,” stated the chairman, Mr. H. Luke. He added that the board would have to use some of its reserves to subscribe to the loan. Mr. J. H. Fraler said this was a contribution not only to assist the men in the fighting field, but an insurance against aggression and damage to the board’s property. “I think this is the finest security we can contribute to,” he added.
