He was a recognised authority on local-body administration, and many years ago took a prominent part in the formation of the Main Highways Board. “He will be greatly missed in the House of Representatives, where few will forget his trenchant but lively and genial style in debate. His views always commanded respect. “The highest tribute can be paid to the extensive part he has played in the founding and shaping of public developments, both for his own district in Hawke’s Bay and for the Dominion generally. I have lost a close personal friend and a staunch and outstanding member of my team. I extend my own' personal sympathy and that of the Opposition to the members of his family."
