A GOOD SIGN.
DROP IN CHARITABLE AID, RELIEVING OFFICER IMPRESSED. The amount dispersed in charitable aid relief is one of the surest barometers of a community’s state of prosperity or otherwise. In this connection Mr F. Aisher, relieving officer to the Palmerston North Hospital Board, told ft “Standard” reporter to-day that there was every indication that the district was getting back to normal. There had, during the past month, been a very substantial drop in the sum-ex-pended by the board in relieving want and distress, the number of applicants having been appreciably reduced. This happy state of affairs applied to the number of casuals coining within bis purview as well as to permanent residents of the district who wore in dire need of the necessaries of life. His obesrvations, bo added, had application to all parts of the board’s widespread district.
