Deciding New Site For T.B. Shelters
PARK COMMITTEE CONSIDERING INTERVIEW WITH MR. COATES HTHE Parks Committee of the Auckland City Council is considering yesterday the question of the allocation of the new site for the T.B. patients’ shelters in the Domain. Should the committee come to a favourable decision, the conference of local bodies interested in this question will be called together again, and the means whereby the men can be removed to their new quarters will be considered. Mr. Sharpe, secretary of the Auckland branch of the Returned Soldiers’ Assosiation, conferred to-day with Mr. Phelan, who, with Mr. Dickson, M.P., waited last week on the Prime Minister, Mr. Coates, and the Minister of Health, Mr. Young. The Ministers put the matter before Cabinet with the result that an offer of £ for £ subsidy up to £250 was made. The offer was not definitely accepted however, as Mr. Phelan was not authorised to do this. But there is every possibility that the offer, which had been characterised as “inadequate and absurd” will be accepted. Mr. Phelan had informed him, said Mr. Sharpe, that they had had the greatest difficulty in “even getting that out of the Government.”
