ART UNIONS.
PRIVILEGES ABUSED. A MINISTER’S CRITICISM. (BY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, Aug. 29. Speaking to a deputation re art unions, the Hon. Mr Bollard (Minister for Internal Affairs) said that the privilege had been abused. He gave some instances. In one case a man got a permit to hold an art union for the benefit of a person who was dying of cancer at Island Bay, Wellington. The person actually received £75, but the secretary disappeared, and the authorities were looking for him. It was alleged that he got away with a considerable sum of money and the model of the ship that was being raffled.
