£12,000 Allocated « • Surplus Art Union Funds Timaru Ambulance Gets £l5O By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, December 8. The sum of £12,000 from art union funds is being allocated by the Government as a Christmas gift to a number of philanthropic and kindred institutions in New Zealand. The money comes from the accumulated surplus profits of the £5.000 alluvial gold art unions conducted during the year. The practice has been for st me time to allocate £5,000 after the drawing of each art union to the various mayoral relief funds of the Dominion, the remainder of the profits being kept until a sufficient sum lias been gathered for special distribution among needy institutions. “From written requests received from institutions for assistance I wish the sum now to be allocated were larger," said the Eon.
