UNEMPLOYMENT ACT
ESTIMATE OF 20,000 DEFAULTERS. IN NOT REGISTERING. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) Auckland, this day. When registerations under the Unemployment Act begun it was estimated by the Auckland postal authorities that the total number legally* obliged to register in Auckland city and suburbs was 125,000. This figure was arrived at by allowing an average of two males of 20 years and over to each house in the district. When the registration period closed on November 11 about 90,000 persons had registered. The number of those who failed to register is uncertain, but allowing 15,000 as a margin for error in the original estimate, it would appear that 20,000 in the Auckland area are now liable to prosecution.
