At a meeting of the Christchurch Citizens Unemployment Committee yesterday, it was resolved, on the motion of Mr T. Armstrong, M.P., “that as there are large sums of money at the disposal of the Main Highways Board they should be utilised for the purpose of improving and extending our main highways, thereby giving employment to hundreds of men and using the funds at its disposal for the purpose for which they were collected.” It was stated that the Highways Board had £500,000 of unexpended South Island funds in hand. , If you realise that you are not adequately insured against fire loss the Mercantile and General Insurance Co., Ltd., is a New Zealand Company with all its capital invested -in New Zealand and thus can assure you prompt settlement.
