Women’s facility mooted

The South Otago Progress League has started a movement to raise £2000 for the establishment of a women’s rest house in Balclutha. It is intended to purchase a section and build a suitable place for women and children to visit, instead of having to wander about the

streets.

The rest house is for country women when visiting the town. All modern accessories will be provided, and an attendant engaged.

The farming community was appealed to by Messrs H. Simson and R.R. Grigor for funds last Friday, and collectors have been appointed throughout the district.
