FUNDS FOR PLUNKET SOCIETY
/ PROTEST AT CURTAILED VOTE. EXPLANATION BY MINISTERS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Aug. 12. A strong protest against curtailments made in the vote towards the work of the Piunket Society was made by a deputation from the Dominion Council to the Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes and the Hon. A. J. Stall worthy to-day. Mr. Forbes said that in ordinary circumstances the Piunket Society would be the last one that would bo cut down, but at the present moment there was a call for economy all round. He was not certain yet how the House would receive his proposals for raising extra revenue. Mr. Stallworthy said that.it was not correct to assume that the society had been deprived of £GOOO. As a matter of fact the shortage was only £l9OO, and it was possible that that amount would be made up in the Supplementary Estimates.
