PATRIOTIC GRANTS.
The Wairarapa Patriotic Association has been most generous in its giants to the Y.M.C.A., the Salvation Army, and other patriotic institutions. No person can take the slightest exception to moneys being voted for the provision of comforts for the brave fellows who are in the trenches or in military hospitals. The subscribers to the fund have a right to lajow, however, that the moneys are being expended entirely on the .services for which they are voted. People may have the greatest- confidence in the officials of the Y.M.C.A. and the Salvation Army, but it is due to these officials, and due to the subscribing public, that balance-sheets should be periodically furnished, showing how the money has been expended. The Patriotic Association is itself required to furnish • balance-sheets, although its bona fides are scarcely open to suspicion. Is it not equally desirable that those who receive large sums of njoney should furnish detailed information as to how tho grants are expended?
