A. G. LUNN drew the attention of the chairman, Mr. H. E. Vaile, to an article in an illustrated weekly claiming that the Museum was not a true war memorial, but should be “something surrounded with bristling bayonets.” Mr. Lunn asked for a reply to what he claimed was an illinformed article. Mr. Vaile replied that it had been inferred in the Press that the Auckland Institute had been responsible for alterations in the plan of the Museum. ITe wished to deny this strongly, as the arrangements had l*e<en in the hands of the Citizens’ War Memorial Committee.
Another speaker pointed out that the Auckland Returned Soldiers’ Association was in error when it claimed that the institute had interfered in the building of the War Memorial Museum.
