PROPOSAL REJECTED
NEW MOVE BY UNEMPLOYMENT BOARD By Telegraph—Press Association DUNEDIN, May 23. The City Council had before it tonight a proposal made by the certifying officer of the Unemployment Bureau that a tribunal should be set up in Dunedin which would decide whether certain men classified as fit for light work should continue to remain a charge on the unemployment fund. It was stated that the proposal was to set up a similar tribunal in each centre. A committee of the Council recommended the appointment of a councillor as representative on the tribunal, but the discussion showed that the proposal of the Unemployment Board was considered to be an effort to place the responsibility on local bodies, and the statement was made that such a body would be a chopping block between the board and the unemployed. The Council decided unanimously not to be represented on the tribunal.
