The new scheme of payment of relief workers employed by the Waimakariri River Trust, Canterbury, whereby the trust pays a proportion of the wages, amounting to 6s a month for each man, was first put into operation this week. The trust employs between 600 and 700 men, so that the cost will be about £2OO a month. It was stipulated in the arrangements made with the Government that the total cost to the trust for the period of three months during which the scheme will be under trial should not exceed £6OO.
