WAR GRAVES.
RESTRICTIONS OBJECTED TO. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The City Council to-night adopted a committee’s recommendation objecting to the definition of vyar graves submitted by the Internal Affaire Department. Objection was raised to the restriction of future burials to soldiers who had died of disabilities contracted or aggravated by war service later than twelve months after discharge, but who have been continuously under treatment since discharge. The council had set aside 10 acres for a returned soldiers’ cemetery, and the restriction would allow of very few burials. It was pointed out that war disability was often recurring, and it was contended that all such cases should be eligible and entitled to rhe honor of interment in war graves.
