WAR MEMORIAL CONTROVERSY

HOW DOES IT STAND? RETURNED SOLDIERS INQUIRE. At the meeting of the Whangarei and Districts Returned Soldiers' Association on Thursday evening Dr. Frazerhurst suggested that the timewas opportune for raising the question of the War Memorial, a question which so far had chiefly"raised dust." Retfeinring ,to thei controversy concerning the form the memorial should take, Dr. .Frazerhurst contended that the first essential was a plaque engraved with the names of the fallen: anything else deemed necessary would only be in the nature of something- to which the plaque could be affixed. At the present juncture h_ thought it of little use discussing what was favoured as a memorial. The first thing to be done was for the promoters to decide how much anoney they would have for the object. As for the Cleopatra's obelisk design, Or. Frazerhurst pointed out that that had been suggested because it was emblematical of Egypt, where so many of the men had been im- . mediately prior to the initial operations, and where many had died. Dr Frazerhurst indicated that the proposed provision of a memorial ward at the Hospital would be in the nature of a duplication, as already the ; Commercial Travellers, by efforts ; spread over three years and subsidised at the rate of '24s in the pound by the Government, had provided a special ward, at a cost of £6000, for the accommodation of sick and wounded soldiers. However if there was no other suitable place upon which to fix the plaque he had mentioned, there was, no doubt, plenty of spare wallspace for the purpose at the Hospital. He concluded iby urging the local bodies to find the money and then to decide the vexed question.' Mr J. F. S. Briggs .said that information might be obtained concerning the whereabouts of the money already raised for war memorial purposes. Mr (H. C. Hemphill outlined what had been done up to the time of the public meeting in the Town Hall at which it had been decided to request the Mayor of Whangarei to convene another meeting at a later date. It was resolved by the Executive to depute the president (;Mr J. F. S. Briggs) and Dr. Frazerhurst to wait upon the Mayor, to ascertain on behalf of the R.S.A. how matters stood in connection with the war memorial proposals.
