Art Unions.
ALLOCATING THE PROFITS. DEPARTMENT'S POLICY. The general policy of the Department of Internal Affairs regarding the allocation of art union proceeds was outlined in a letter from the Under-Secretary to the Department, which was received at a meeting of the Opawa (Christchurch) Public Library Provisional Committee. An application from the committee for a grant from the proceeds of one of the art unions for the purpose of stocking and equipping the library which the committee hopes to have built at an early date was refused by the Minister..
Mr. Fraser stated that requests for art union benefits for fresh capital expenditure could not be looked upon with favour at the present juncture. Under existing conditions the policy was to devote the profits of art unions as far as possible in assisting organisations of a national character, and move particularly these providing social services of a charitable and philanthropic nature.
