PUBLIC v. PRIVATE CHARITY.
THE LABOUR TEST. [Pee Press Association.} DUNEDIN, Jan. 10. Mr Houghton, as Chairman o£ the Hoapital Trustees, in his annual address, deplores that the Charitable Aid Act is sapping the springs of private benevolence, and urges a return to the voluntary system. Mr Solomon, Chairman of the Benevolent Trustees, in his annual address said that various schemes for charitable reform had been suggested, but nothing practical had resulted. Inspector M'Gregor had expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the manage* ment of the Caversham institution, and a year ago had inspected forty cases of outdoor relief without discovering ah unworthy . case, or one not perfectly correct. With a view to ascertaining whore the alleged overlapping took place, the Trustees sent circulars to fifty ministers connected with the charitable organisations in the City, but only six replies were received, and in the majority of cases their writers declined to give any information. The introduction of the labour test had been the means of substantially reducing the ap* plications for out-door relief.
