EXONERATED
C HRISTCHU RCH CHARGES WORKMAN’S VINDICTIYE SPIRIT Christchurch, April II After discussion in camera, the City Council last evening carried a resolution exonerating the engineering department on a series of charges brought by Mr Baker, a member of the council, and expressing confidence in the department. This action followed an independent report by Mr If. A. Campbell, civil engineer an formerly professor l of engineeringl at Canterbury College. wTiicii stated: “T have- examined all of the charges against- tin department, with tlie single exception of tlie drain oil the property of A. J. White, Ltd., which is a minor matter, and involved Uho council in vpp little extra, expense. I find that the charges cannot be substantiated. T should like to add that the action of in attempting to collect data on certain matters which were no concern of his, and keeping that mfornvi- j tion for five venrs before producing* it. indicates a vindictive e’drit which is very rare among New Zealand workmen.
