STATEMENT DENIED
CHAIRMANSHIP OF HOSPITAL BOARD An unqualified denial, was given yesterday by Mr John L. Mclndoe, president of the Dunedin Citizens’ Association, to the statement made by Dr D. G. McMillan, chairman of the Dunedin Hospital Board, and published in the Daily Times yesterday, that a woman selected as a Citizens’ candidate for the Hospital Board had been dropped from the “ticket” when she refused to give an undertaking to vote for a change in the present chairmanship of the board. Mr Mclndoe said that only two women candidates had been selected by the Citizens’ Association to stand for local bodies. They were Mrs Norah Ross and Miss Louise Roberts. As publicly stated by Miss Roberts, no pledge of any kind whatever was ever asked from, or given by, the Citizens’ Association candidates.
To say that an unnamed woman had been asked to pledge herself to vote for a change in the chairmanship of the Hospital Board was pure propaganda and nothing else, Mr Mclndoe added.
