WORK AND WAGES.

[Per Press Association.] AUCKLAND, Mat 14, Sixty co-operative unemployed left toI day for Rotorua, for road work at Galatea. I Twenty more were despatched to the I Opuatia block on a similar mission. | THE UNEMPLOYED. | The Timaru Borough Council on Monday i evening received a copy of a resolution i recently passed by the* Christchurch City | Council, recommending that the uncmI ployed should be dealt with as a colonial I question and local bodies relieved of tho S responsibility hitherto cast upon them of j providing for them. Tha Acting-Mayor | said that tho Council would think it no | hardship to do something for the nnraI ployed if it was in a position to do it; | fortunately they viero not much troubled j with unomployed in Timaru. Councillor | Owens said that the proposal ran counter to I all former practice and principle, winch s wars that the local bodies should look alter | tho poor o£ their districts. Councillor Grandi I said that tho Christchurch City Council brought trouble upon, itself last winter by j making preparations, thus inviting the j unemployed to assemble there.
