ART UNION PROFITS.
MUST GO TOWARDS ALLEVIATING 1 , DISTRESS. (By Telegraph —Press Association.) ROTORUA, This Day. “I have decided that while conditions remain as they are at present and people are suffering, any profits from art unions must go towards alleviating the distress of those poverty stricken people,” announced the Minister of Internal Affairs, Hon. W. E. Parry, in reply to a request from the settlers of Ngakuru for a grant from proceeds of an art union to assist in the erection of a hall in that district. Hon. Parry said that until the Government could introduce legislation, which would improve conditions throughout the Dominion, those in dis- ( ,tress must be assisted and that would | k be done by the allocation of profits of art unions for that purpose.
