SUSTENANCE MEN
C-HECK ON MOVEMENTS REPORTING AT BUREAUX The practice which has been followed in Southern centres of requiring men on sustenance to report to Unemployment Board officers twice a week is being extended to Auckland, and to minimise the travelling- involved in reporting, bureaux are being established throughout the metropolitan area. Men who collect their sustenance payments in the central area are required to report at. the Labour Bureau on the old station site Inferring to a complaint that men residing as far as Point Chevalier and Avondale had been compelled to report at the central bureau, Mr. W. Slaughter, officer in charge of unemployment in the Auckland district, said that this was not the fault of the department. For reasons of their own, these meu had elected to collect their sustenance payments at Newton or the Auckland West post office and consequently were required to report to the central bureau. If they now elected to have the. payment;; made at the post office nearest their homes, arrangements could be made far them to report at the bureau to be established in the same area.
