WORKLESS MEN AT DUNEDIN.
DEPUTATION WAITS ON MAYOR. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, January 11. A deputation representing the unemployed waited on the Mayor (the Hon. W. B. Taverner) this morning, to see if there was any chance of obtaining work. His Worship, while expressing the utmost sympathy with the deputation, pointed out that the relief work in hand under the direction of the City Council had absorbed ail the men that the available finance would permit.
Speaking in regard to the corporation services, the Mayor said that all the various departments, including the Waipon extension worlis, were fully staffed, and that every effort had been made to take on all the men the circumstances would allow. Mr Taverner further intimated that the question of unemployment would probably be discussed at a meeting of the Cabinet to be held at Wellington on Thursday next. All possible speed was being used by the Public Works Department in preparing for railway developments.
