THE CHARITABLE AID DIFFICULTY.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Christchurch, October 1
The Mayor of Ashburton has written to the Charitable Aid Board complaining that no provision is made for cases of real destitution. He states that he has frequent applications for admission to the Old Men’s Home, but it is useless for him to recommend admission, as the home is full, acid says, “ I feel sorry and ashamed to tell the destitute deserving poor that nothing can be done for them.” Mr March, reports the home in a most wretched condition, not at all adapted to the purposes for which it is now applied. The Beard resolved to forward the correspondence to the Government.
