PUBLIC HOUSES AND CHARITABLE AID.
[BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION". Dunedin, Thursday. At the Charitable Aid Board meeting today Mr. A. C. Begg said that in looking through the returns of the amounts received by the various local bodies he found that there was a wonderful coincidence between the number of licensed houses and the number of persons requiring relief in a district. In the Flat, for example, where there were a large number of licensed houses, it absorbed £1800, and contributed only £400. Several members demurred to the conclusion drawn by Mr. Begg, and alleged that poor people went to the Flat because rents were cheap.
