HOSPITAL MAINTENANCE
SHEEPFARMERS' CONCERN (P.A.) WELLINGTON, this day. "The hospital rating position is becoming quite intolerable," said the vice-president of the New Zealand Sheepowners' Federation, Mr. C. H. Williams, of Gisborne, in moving a remit from the Poverty Bay and East Coast branch.
The remit was as follows:—"That the industry vjews with alarm the continuous increase in the amount of levy required from local bodies for hospital maintenance, and urges upon the Government the necessity for its immediate attention to this matter, and for the inauguration of a scheme that will relieve land from the present intolerable burden of hospital maintenance." Mr. Williams said costs were going up to such an extent that it would be almost impossible to bear them. The land could not stand them.
Mr. H. D. Acland (president): Isn't the position that the towns do not pay their share as compared with the country? The remit was carried.
