GIFT FOR KARITANE HOSPITAL.
——» A promise to contribute £4OOO or £SOOO as the nucleus of a fund for founding a Karitane hospital in Hastings has been made to the Mayor (Mr G. A. Maddison) by a well-known Hawke's Bay farmer. In a letter to Mr Maddison, the prospective donor states:—"lt is my wish to see a Karitane Home started in Hastings. I would like to see a maternity hospital and a Karitane hospital connected with it. If this can be arranged, and the work started in a reasonable time, I am prepared to start a fund with £4OOO or £SOOO. The conditions of the gift could be arranged later if there is any chance of going on with the work. In the meantime my name is to be kept out of this. That is absolutely the only condition at present." Mr Maddison has replied expressing thanks for the offer, and has written to Miss Elsie Williams, president of the Hastings branch of the Plunket Society, acquainting her of the offer, and suggesting that the executive should take up the matter.
