TAKING OVER OF BUILDINGS
SCHOOLS “BANDIED FROM PILLAR TO POST’’ (United Press Association) AUCKLAND, September 18. Strong comment regarding the action of tire military and health authorities in taking over school buildings for use as hospitals was made at the meeting of the Auckland Education Board today. The board decided to protest against the proposed taking over of the Auckland Teachers’ Training College and the Hamilton West Primary School for use as hospitals. A protest was also registered at the inspection of training by the director of the hospitals division of the Department of Health (Dr R. A. Shore) and the local medical health officer (Dr Hughes) yesterday without first consulting the chairman or the secretary of the board. “The schools are being bandied about from pillar to post simply because the military and health people have not done their job,” said Mr F. A. Snell, who represents Hamilton on the board.
