The income of the Jewish National Fund for the Jewish year just past will reach £600,000, while its investments during the two years of war amount to £2,200,000, including £800,000 paid out on the account of earlier acquisitions, it was reported here today by A. Granovsky, JNF director.
The reports was given at a meeting of communal delegates convoked for the purpose of mapping out plans for the celebration of the fourteenth anniversary of the JNF. In Palestine the celebration will be marked by the raising of £100,000 for the Jewish National Fund among Palestine Jews.
The “Farm-City” plan, which enables Jews in the British Isles to buy a farm plot in Palestine on the installment plan, is rapidly gaining in popularity, it is revealed by the JNF. All the 250 plots in the first farm-city have been taken up and the JNF is engaged in selecting another area for a second farm-city to provide for 300 to 600 families, a statement said.
