THE WELLINGTON PLAGUE HOSPITAL.
PROTEST FROM RESIDENTS AT BERHAMPORE.
(PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, April 21. A deputation of Berhampore residents waited on the Mayor, and strongly protested against the erection of a plague hospital in their district. The Mayor said that after the Government refused to give a portion of Somes Island, the present site, was selected as one most removed from population. If they went elsewhere the same objections would be raised. There was no quiet reach in the harbour where a floating hospital could be moored. He suggested that the deputation had better try and get the Government to reconsider the decision as to the quarantine station. In answer to a question he said that he intended to go on with the building.
