BOARD AND DEPARTMENT.
TECHNICAL COLLEGE HALL. SUM OF £2OO IN DISPUTE. Criticism of the action of the Education Department in refusing to pay the board of managers of the Seddon Memorial Technical College a sum of nearly £2OO in connection with the building of the assembly hall at the college was made at a meeting of the board yesterday. A sub-committee was appointed to interview the Hon. J. B. Donald, M.P. for Auckland East, in which electorate -the college is situated, and to ask him, if necessary, to have» the matter ventilated in Parliament. The secretary of the board, Mr. G. J. Park, stated the amount had been claimed by the department, which later deducted a corresponding sum from incidentals clue to the board. The board had appealed to the Minister of Education, who had supported the department. He read lengthy correspondence dating back to 1927, which, the board considered, showed that a definite sum toward the construction of the hall had been promised by the then Minister of Education, Mr. R. A. Wright.
