Speaking at the drawing of the Final Battlo Campaign art union m Pfilmerston on Monday night, the Mayor (Mr. .1. A. Nash) said that it was gratifying to know that tho amount the art union would realise was about £7500, and when this was added to the other money obI taihed m the campaign, it was hoped that they would have £32,000 to add to the sick and wounded fund. They were all very grateful to Mr. McHardy for the way m Avhich he had entered into the campaign. They would be able now to bring the sick and wounded fund tip to £53,000, which would be invested ot 4to 4£ per cent. It was hoped to be able to provide for all the men who returned and who required assistance, and also to assist where necessary the dependents of ' those vrho wore away fighting. The Patriotio Society had not the slightest intention of interfering with tKe capital, as this would be manifestly unfair to those men who were .away. Every man was entitled to assistance if he required 1 it, and every man would' get it.
