STREET DAY APPEALS

REVERSION TO OLD SYSTEM ONE DAY EACH MONTH The Mayor (Mr D. C. Cameron) said yesterday that during 1946 the pre-war system of allowing only one street day appeal a month will be resumed by the Dunedin City Council. “It was inevitable during the war period that additional street appeals should be held for patriotic purposes,” Mr Cameron added, “ but it is the council's intention in futdre to restrict them to one day a month as was the case before the war.”

The allocation of days to various organisations has already been made for 1946, the Mayor said, and in view of the fine work performed by the hands of the city it has been decided to allocate the special street day previously given for patriotic purposes to them. The proceeds of this appeal will be divided among the six brass bands and the two pipe bands. , The Mayor expressed his appreciation of the fine response of the citizens to the many appeals for patriotic and community purposes during the past few years, and he also referred to the generous action of the combined orphanages of Dunedin in voluntarily foregoing a street day granted them at at the end of last year in order that a special appeal might be conducted by C.0.R.5.0.
