SUPPLIES OF FOOTWEAR SCHEME IN OPERATION. <

(Peb United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 14,

The supplies of boots for relief workers under the first orders placed with the manufacturers by the Unemployment Board are beginning to come to hand and the work of distributing them to the various centres is commencing. This is a task of some magnitude, and in view of the board’s desire to provide for the most necessitous cases first, the others who are eligible will have to wait till sufficient supplies are available to enable a general distribution to be made. It is expected that within a month the distribution will be well under way.
