Assistance in Kind.
“I always look more favourably on a request when I can see that the petitioners have done their best to help themselves,” s’aid Mr J. Bitchener, Minister of Public Works, in reply to a deputation at Auckland recently. It was mentioned that in one case a settler, having no cash available, had handed in a sack of danthonia seed to the Public Works Department as his contribution to the cost of metalling an access road, while in another case, a ton of pumpkins, and several pigs and sheep, had been offered in lieu of money by settlers who desired to assist in the cost of constructing a road.
