WANGANUI TOURIST LEAGUE REFUSED SUBSIDY
REGARDED BY COUNCIL AS POLITICAL BODY
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WANGANUI, June 30. “It was with amazement that I read the remarks of the mayor, Mr W. J. Rogers, and Labour Party councillors at the last meeting of the city counvil,” said Mr C. T. Young, secretary of the Wanganui Tourist and Development League today, commenting on a discussion when the question of whether the council should give a subsidy to the league was being considered. Some members of the council maintained that a large subsidy should not be |
given as the league was a political body and was merely an executive of the Citizen’s Protective League. “The branding of the Tourist and Development League as a political organisation and the consequent refusal o£ a subsidy because Mr Gibson Hughes and I took part in the municipal elections shows the lengths to which the Labour Party is prepared to go to prevent any expression or action in opposition to its administration,” said Mr Young.
