Following the Sick, Wounded, and Distress Appeal in the Auckland province, a sum of £189,262 is in hand, and it is possible that a further £lOOO to £l2OO will yet be received. Of the amount in hand £31,038 was received through the radio appeal out of a total of £31,578 promised. According to the treasurer of the appeal, Mi C. H. Battley, the accounts should be completed within a few days. Additions to both the general fund and the radio appeal total are still to come through realisations on sections and other gifts. Mr Battley’ said the total expenditure on the appeal throughout the province was just below £2OOO, or slightly over one per cent of the amount obtained. That result had been possible through the great amount of honorary work.
