OBJECTIVE REACHED MINISTER’S STATEME. t [ Ter I’resA Association. J WELLINGTON, June 3. “Both the Wellington and the national objectives will have been achieved when the first accounting is announced later in the week.” stated the Hon. P. Fraser, when opening a flag-planting ceremony in the city this morning in connection with the King George V. Memorial Fund. The amount decided upon for the whole ol New Zealand was £lOO,OOO. First of all there was £25,000 from the Government. and when an amount of £25,000 had been raised by voluntary subscriptions and donations, there would be a further pound for pound subsidy, right up to £lOO,OOO. That was the limit set, but it looked as if it would be surpassed. The undeistanding now is that every £lOOO over £50,000 to any amount will be subsidised pound for pound, and that amount was well in sight. He would probably be able to announce on Friday that £50,000. had been reached, but those who wished to give had no need to hesitate for every shilling, whether given to-day or afterwards, would be subsidised. The latest figure for the Memorial Fund in Wellington City and adjacent territory is £12,352.
