RELIEF ALLOCATIONS
DISPARITY TO BE LOOKED INTO. By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, This Day. A deputation from the Municipal Association Conference set up to inquire into the reasons for the disparities in the relief fund allocations, as between the different districts, to-day waited on the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes, the Hon. J. Bitchener and the deputy-chairman of the Unemployment Board, Mr J. S. Jessep. Mr Forbes promised to look into the position, but expressed the opinion that with the limited funds and in the particularly difficult circumstances, disparities were bound to arise.
Introducing the deputation, Mr D. G, Sullivan, M.F., said: "The Conference wishes it to be clearly understood that it did not wish the allocations for the smaller centres to be brought up at the expense of lower allocations for the larger towns.”
