OLYMPIC GAMES

NEW ZEALANDERS’ EXS. MORE THAN ANTICIPATED. CABLE FOR MORE FUNDS. By Telegraph—Press Association Wallington, August 13. Owing principally to the conversion rate being more against the Dominion than was anticipated, the Council of the New Zealand Olympic Association has found it necessary to borrow an additional sum up to £5OO, on the security of its trust funds, to meet the expenses of the New Zealand team at Los Angeles. A decision to this effect was made at the council meeting last night, when a letter from Mr Rundle, manager oz the team, was tabled. The letter stated that the team arrived at Los Angeles on Sunday, July 3, and the expenditure, as furnished in the summary which was handed to him, was under-estimated, and it appeared that there was going to be a shortage. He had been put to some expense regarding the baggage, conveyance of racing shells and other matters he had not anticipated. The team was one of the first to arrive at Olympic Village, and it found that transport had not been organised properly, with the result that some expense was incurred. The team’s share of the salary of the cook amounted to 25 dollars a week, and it was likely that, when the Australians left, the New Zealand team would have to beer the whole cost of the chef, which was 35 dollars a week. The conversion rate had declined, and at the time of writing it was in the vicinity of 3.53 dollars. He also had to disburse money on behalf of some of the athletes and boxers who had come away insufficiently equipped. To enable the oarsmen to train at Longbeacj, meant a journey of over 50 miles a day, and a launch was required for training purposes, and he estimated the cost in this respect to be about 100 dollars. The statement of accounts enclosed, Mr Bundle said, showed that the funds in hand were insufficient for even the barest necessaries, and a remittance by cable was necessary to meet all obligations. Something in the vicinity of 1000 dollars would probably be needed. Mr Bundle also points out that owing to having to remain a fortnight after the Games close, the team is likely to bp left practically isolated at Olympic Village, and the expenses will be heavy. He suggests that it might pay to remove to San Francisco when the Australians leave the village. The council decided to leave all action in this matter to Mr Bundle’s discretion.
