HOSPITAL BUILDINGS
PROSPECTIVE ARCHITECT TRAVELLING EXPENSES The probability that the architect in charge of the plans of the new Opotiki Hospital, Mr Haughey would be employed, was evidenced at the Whakatane Board’s meeting on Thursday. The board should gain considerably from the employment of Mr Haughey in several ways. Travelling expenses were thoroughly discussed and it was thought highly desirable that the expenses incurred be apportioned fairly among the various boards concerned Mr McCready thought if the question of expenses was handled in this manner it could quite easily become a racket. Members were of the opinion that the apportioning of these in a fair manner would be largely a question of honesty. The question was referred to the finance committee.
A motion was passed that as from that time such works as the board considered required the services of an architect be entrusted to Mr Haughey" subject to the Institute of Architects scale of charges and conditions. It was further decided that the services of the present architect be dispensed with subject to all existing commissions being completed.
