DUNEDIN ITEMS.
[From Our Correspondent.] DUNEDIN; May 26. The Free Kindergarten Association is financially in difficulties, and unless the appeal to be made to the public meets ■with a ready response the probabilities are that it will succumb. Some years ago when the late Mr H. S. Fish was elected Mayor of Dunedin he was unseated by his opponent on the ground that as a sub-contractor for some small work at the Town Hall he was disqualified from sitting. The City Council at that time) as a mark of displeasure at Mr H. J. Walters’s action, declined to vote that gentleman the usual honorarium (£400). and he was compelled to carry through the duties of his office without monetary recompense. Of late years Mr Walters, now a resident of Wellington, has been dn straitened circumstances, end recently an ad misericordiam appeal was made on his behalf to the City Council for something on account of the honorarium not paid. The Finance Committee will recommend the Council at this week’s meeting to vote a sum of fifty pounds.
