OVERLAPPING

At the meeting of the delegates at Stratford, fear was expressed that unless there was organisation there would be overlapping in ■ connection with' the patriotic" funds. This fear had reference to the administration of relief, but it seems to be justified in respect of collection of funds. The local committee had arranged to take a street collection to-day for the fund for wounded, and to their surprise found that collectors from Wellington were at j work. Of the intention of Wellington ' authorities to make a collection no notice whatever had been received, and the procedure is not only altogether out of place in view of what the Hawera committee has done-and is doing, but also extremely discourteous. An explanation is due from somebody.
