ART UNION PROFITS
NONE FOR A. AND P. SOCIETIES.
Hopes of sharing in the profits of an art union as other A. and P. societies have done, prompted the Morrinsville A. and P. Society to apply to the Minister-in-charge recently, but the following reply has been received from the Minister:—
“It would appear that the Morrinsville Society desires to participate in an art union in order to provide funds for the purchase of land and the erection of the necessary buildings to provide for a home industry section. I must point out that requests for art union benefits for the purpose of creating new assets are not looked upon with favour while there is such a need to assist deserving organisations in financial difficulties.”
The president (Mr. W. J. Aitken): I thought when we wrote to the Minister that not being financially involved we had a good case to put before him. Apparently we ought to get heavily in debt and then we would have no difficulty in getting a share of art union profits. Members quoted several cases where A. and P. societies had benefited from art unions.
