AUCKLAND SAILORS' HOME
FIFTY YEARS OF SERVICE The Auckland Sailors' Home, made possible by the munificent bequest of the late Mr. Edward Cost ley, has completed 50 years of service in tho interests of seamen in and visiting the port of Auckland. "The thousands of men who have enjoyed the amenities of the home during half a cerftury owe Mr. Costley a deep debt of gratitude." states the report to be presented at the annual meeting on Thursday, June 20. It mentions that the total attendance during tho past year was 659G, a daily average of about 18, showing an improvement on the two previous years. The year was a difficult one, although gifts from various sources enabled a small credit balance to be shown in the working account for the first time in 10 years.
