J. Larner, did not have a quorum yesterday, and had to transact the business as a committee. The report on the Veterans’ Home showed that there were now 26 inmates of the institution. six being members of the N.Z.E.F. Without doubt the home would be wholly used for needy ex-members of the N.Z.E.F. in the Great War, and this justified the association transferring £13,000 from the'“A” fund to the capital account of the institution. The expenditure on the upkeep of the home for the past three months had been £632. The association decided to install an up-to-date wireless set for ex-soldier patients at the T. 33.
