Wilson. The ceremony was held overlooking the Waitemata Harbour and the back lawn was dense with people. It had been hoped the Prime Minister would be able to perform the opening, ceremony, and after he had found that pressure of official business would not allow him to make the journey, to Auckland the Minister of Health (Hon. P. Fraser) was asked by him to represent the Government. However, indisposition prevented. Mr Fraser’s attendance and letters of apology from both him and Mr Savage were read by Rev. C.
