UNAUTHORISED SALE
ORDERS FOR FIREWOOD Complaints that orders have been taken and payment accepted by an unauthorised man in the Epsom and Pemuera districts for firewood belonging to the Auckland Boys' Unemployment Committee have been received by the committee, according to the secretary, Mr. N. G. Grihble. i "Someone has been going round the suburbs taking money for kindling wood purporting to be supplied by the committee, for which he has been taking advance payments," said Mr. Gribble yesterday. He produced a receipt made out to a woman resident in Epsom which purported to show that 2s 3(1 had been paid for wood to be delivered by the coinmitteo. The committee possessed a large quantity of wood which had been chopped by unemployed boys at the committee's city depot, and the committee had decided to sell this wood to raise additional funds for its winter campaign. However, only one canvasser, a returned soldier, who was properly accredited, was being employed to dispose of the wood.
