PAROCHIAL ASPECT
THE CENTENNIAL GAMES AUCKLAND’S CLAIM URGED EXHIBITION COMMITTEE CRITICISED (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 2. Strong resentment was expressed by Mr W. R. Fee at a meeting of the council of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce to-day concerning the decision of the New Zealand Centennial Committee to hold a centennial sports meeting in Wellington. He claimed that this should be left to Auckland, which had already advanced a proposal for the Centennial Games. Mr Fee said the committee’s decision would react to the detriment of the Centennial Exhibition in Wellington as thf Auckland public would not be prepared to co-oper-ate so fully if, the question assumed a parochial aspect. Other speakers supported Mr Fee’s remarks, maintaining that each centre should be afforded facilities for its own special form of celebration and that overlapping between the centres should be avoided.
