DR T. McKIBBIN
’ POPULAR IN DUNEDIN. (Special to the Star.) DUNEDIN, This Day. Dr. Thomas McKibbin, concerning whom the Public Service Commissioner has just published an official finding has been about two years in the service of the State, most of the time being - spent in Dunedin. If he comes here again as a Medical Officer of Health he will be sincerely welcomed. Already a movement is on foot amongst local medical men to tender Dr. McKibbin a dinner on his reaching Dunedin. The difference in salary between Auckland and Dunedin is approximately £l5O a year. There seems to be an opinion here that Dr. McKibbin's eagerness in his work lured him on to a tearing of red tape and that departmental censure was bound to follow ; but that the finding is very severe. Such happonI ings in the public service are not frequent. The last that we remember previous to this was the Seddon affair of many years ago.
