MEN’S REFUSAL TO GIVE
CONTRIBUTIONS TO PATRIOTIC FUND
BOROUGH COUNCIL’S DECISION The South Invercargill Borough Council decided last night that in the event of the number of men employed in the borough under Scheme 13 being reduced it be an instruction to the foreman that those who had refused to contribute Id in the £1 of their wages to the Patriotic Fund be the first to be put off.
It was reported that the men employed under the scheme, whereby a refund of wages paid to the men is made by the Government to the council, had been asked to contribute. The majority had offered to do so, but several men had refused. A councillor said that it was a small contribution to make and the fact that the Government was paying the wages of the men amounting to £4/12/6 a week was a factor which should influence them.
