WORK TO PAY RATES
DECISION AT PAPATOETOE
AIDING UNEMPLOYED RESIDENTS
A recommendation by the Cemetery Committee of the Papatoetoe 'lown Board that unemployed ratepayers be given one day's work each fortnight to liquidate their arrears of rates was considered at a meeting of the board last evening. Mr. J. Franklin, chairman of the committee, said that out of consideration for unemployed ratepayers, who had requested they be given an opportunity to work off their rates, it was suggested that the formation of the entrance drive and paths bo commenced, and the men given one day's work every fortnight. " We realise that unless we do something many of the unemployed ratepayers will be unable to pay any rates, and, in our opinion, the suggested work could be arranged without harming our finances," added Mr. Franklin.
The recommendation was adopted and referred to the Finance Committee for a report as to the number of ratepayers concerned and the financial limit to which employment could be granted.
