AUCKLAND, July 18.
Reductions in the salaries of Dr. J. W. Cra-ven and Dr. C. Maguire, the medical superintendents of the Auckland Hospital and the Auckland Infirmary respectively, were .made at the June meeting of the Auckland Hospital Board. The matter was dealt with in committee, and ifc was decided to reduce Dr. Craven’s salary from £I2OO to £llOO, and Dr. Maguire's salary from €990 to .€BOO, these being the only reductions made. At the Board’s meeting to-day, a motion that: those salary reductions be rescinded, was debated, when Mr E. H. Potter said that it was difficult to understand why the Board had clicsen its most, responsible officers for the salary i‘eductions.
Dr. Gun son said that, he was sorry these two salaries had been bracketed, as, in his view, the positions were not of equal importance. “Dr. Maguire is holding a post worth not one penny more than £BOO a year,” Dr. Gun son said. “As for Dr. Craven, the reduction in his salary is most unwarranted, as his is the most important position of its kind in New Zealand.” The motion was lost by five vot-jp to four, the chairman of the Board not voting.
