Plan to Give Work to Bslgians

Hope that expatriated and distressed
Belgiahs ay yet be induced to settle
in Australia, Notwithstanding the ad-
verso attitude of the Belgian govern
ment, was voiced in statement made
recently at meeting in Sydney, Aus
tralia, of the Millions Club by Percy
Hunter, director of the New South
Wales immigration Bureau. Mr. Hunt
er, whose headquarters are in London,
said that the plan of transplanting of
Belgians to the Commonwealth was sug-
gested Immediately upon it's becoming
apparent that there would be large
number of Belgians who in consequence
OF the war would be unable to earn
their living at home The New South
Wales government offered to take 1000
OF them, transport them passage free to
Australia, maintain them and return
them, passage free, to their homes in
Belgium after the war if they desired.
And it also offered to transport con-
siderable number of young Belgian
women and widows with children who
might find situations as domestic serv-
ants. Though these plans had failed
because the Belgian government had de.
terminedly refused to sanction them,
Mr.. Hunter believed that some arrange.
ment to the end desired might even
tually be made.

FUNDS FOR oHEsH1pE COUNTY.
Increase of s13,5O0 Expected from
New Hampshire Legislature.

While the official figures have not been
given out, it is understood that the Chesh-
ire county delegation in the New Hamp-
shire legislature has voted to make the
county appropriations for the next two
years 800 a year. This is an increase
Of S13,J00 over the previous dppropria-
tiop. and is made necessary in greater
court and miscellaneous expenses, part Of
the county agricultural agents salary, etc.
The county commissioners recommended
an appropriation of S6S,000 a year for the
general expenses, and pointed ouv the ne
cessity of providing for repairs and I'M
movement of the county property. 4
committee from the legislative delegation
consisting of Messrs. Robertson Of Hin>
dale, Hubbard of Gilsum and Barrett of
Keene, recently investigated the buildings
at the county farm, and in its report rec
commended an additional building for hos
pital purposes and to provide quarters for
| old people One of the reasons Urged fol
so doing was the fact that the present hos
| pital is in the third story OF one of thu
| buildings, and it was believed that IN case
of fire it would be very doubtful if the hos
pital inmates could be gotten out The
new quarters proposed would provide
hospital on the first floor, and the buildin!
would be practically fireproof. The sun
of $4,000 was appropriated for this pro
iect.
