WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED.
MR. JOHN BURNS' SUGGESTION By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. (Received March 18. 11.33 p.m.) London, March 18. Mr. John Burns (President of the Local Government Board), in addressing the Association of Municipal Corporations, suggested that since the municipalities spent 140 millions annually in building or engineering works, they might by cooperating with the Imperial authorities, who spent a similar sum on other work, considerably mitigate the sufferings of the unemployed. Too much municipal work, he contended, was done at a time when private trade was busy.
