COULD NOT VOTE
(Press Assn.) AUCKLAND, Mar. 7. "This is an extraordinary position and I assure you that the committee will take up the matter with a view to having it rectified," stated the chairman (Mr R. McKeen), when the fact that doctors and nurses at the Auckland Hospital were unable to exercise a vote in the municipal elections was raised at a sitting of the Parliamentary Committee on Local Government. It was explained that the hospital was neither in the City Council's area nor in the zone of any borough council. It was situated in a sort of "No Man's Land" which was a fragment of the did Eden Council.
