MANY UNEMPLOYED
POSITION AT AUCKLAND DECENT MEN WILLING TO WORK HOSPITAL BOARD’S HEAVY EXPENDITURE Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, January 19. The chairman of the Auckland Hospital Board stated last night that nearly two hundred persons in Auckland were receiving charitable aid. In nine months the board had spent £20,000 in relief or £6400 more than in the same period the previous financial year. Men applying for relief were deoent hard working men, and could not get work. If that were the position now, he asked, what is it going to be next winter ? If giving relief to unemployed was' to be considered a duty of hospital hoards the latter should have some say in the question of bringing immigrants to the Dominion. Cabinet had authorised half of the board’s claim for reimbursement of the amount spent on unemployed relief. The board resolved to accept it, and press for the payment of the balance on the Prime Minister’s return.
