The balance in hand, £5 7s 2d, the committee propose to hand over to the • Women's National Reserve. > I The committee desire to thank con--1 tributors for .the liberal manner in " which the appeal was responded to so r far as they^ were concerned, but the 1 number of those who had come forward r was riot as large as was expected, nor f as,the necessity demanded. It "vfas f certainly gratifying to see "so many : willing to assist, hut the comntijtrtee regretted that tne- work could not hav^ i been continued for a longer period. j However, the funds at the disposal of j the committee did not permit this, and j had it not been for the assistance of j the Borough Council the effort' would | have fallen very far short of what was expected and what was required.
