“PLAYED THE MAN”
MR. COATES PRAISED HOSPITAL BOARD’S TRIBUTE “He Has pl*yed the man and kept his promise to the board,” was a tribute paid to the late Prime Minister, the Hon. J. G. Coates, by the chairman of the Auckland Hospital Board yesterday. Mr. W. Wallace, the chairman, said that he wished to give credit to Mr. Coates for the way he had made good his promise to refund to the board the large sum paid out by the relief department because of the unemployment. Practically the full amount would be obtained by the board and the Director-General of Hospitals, Dr. T. H. A. Valintine, wrote stating that Cabinet on December 5 had approved of the granting of the £IO,OOO spent by the board in extraordinary relief of unemployment. “That is a very satisfactory settlement,” said Mr. E. H. Potter. The letter was received, and it was decided to acknowledge the grant.
