THE DOMAIN SHELTERS.
It is to be hoped there is not going to be an unseemly wrangle over paying for moving tho patients from the T.B. shelters in the Domain, bat such a dispute might serve a good purpose by delaying their removal and causing those responsible to revise their decision. These soldier patients deserve every consideration. They have become attached to theso shelter?, and there does not seem to be real justification for turning them out at once. If they are to be removed, however, they should be taken away from the Domain altogether. No further portion of the Domain should be alienated for such a purpose. The permanent appropriations of land for hospital purposes in this part of Auckland are already quite large enough, and the City Council should resolutely refuse to part with any more of the Domain area. When the patients are moved they should be taken right away and to a place where a hospital organisation already exists. The Epsom Infirmary is such a place, and surely they can be made as comfortable there —and comfort is their bare due—as they have been in the Domain.
