HIGH EXPENDITURE
PATRIOTIC FUND BOARD NEXT YEAR’S PROJECTS PA WELLINGTON. Oct. 12. The Governor-General, Sir Bernard Freyberg, who is chairman of the New Zealand Patriotic Fund Board, issued to board members a “ note ot' caution ” to-day in regard t.o expenditure for the coming year. Next year's balance sheet, he forecast, would look “ very different” from the satisfactory balance sheet shown this year. Cash payments would be made during the coming year in connection with the new servicemen’s homes at Christchurch and Three Kings and the establishment of the communal war veterans’ village at Okoroire, near Auckland. His Excellency congratulated board members on what had been achieved during the past year, and thanked the board's sub-committees for the progress they had made. He said he had recently glanced through the minutes of the previous year’s annual meeting, and had found that all the projects undertaken at that time were now well in hand. However, expenditure on projects during the next year would cost the board a lot of money.
