THE PRISON GATE HOME
A PROTEST PROM ITS PROPOSED
LOCALITY
ITT.n Press Association.! WELLINGTON, Oct. 11. A deputation of Island Bay residents waited on the Hon. Dr. Findlay, Minister of Justice, to-day protesting against the proposal for the establishment by the Salvation Army of a Prison Gate Homo in that suburb. A petition against the proposal was presented bearing the signatures of 251 women. In reply the Minister spoke highly of the social work of the Salvation Army. It was only right he should hear both sides and in any case he failed to see how he could interfere. The law provides a remedy by way of an injunction if it could be established that the home would amount to a common nuisance. He would ask Brigadier Bray, the Army’s New Zealand representative, to explain his side of the case.
