ESSEX HOSPITAL ALTERATIONS
Amended Plans Prepared Negotiations are proceeding for improvements by alterations and additions short of permanent construction at Essex Hospital acceptable to the City Council, which had refused to permit alterations planned, the chairman (Dr. L. C. L. Averill) said at yesterday’s meeting of the North Canterbury Hospital Board. “What have we decided to do with the part of the maternity hospital closed up?” asked Miss M. B. Howard. M.P. “If we are going to use it, as envisaged, as a home for aged people, the building should be in permanent material.” *
On orders from the Health Department, plans were prepared for a maternity hospital, but they were turned down by the City Council, replied Dr. Averill. Plans for a maternity hospital were likely to be accepted. They were very much the same as those submitted earlier.
Breakdown Allowance. The North Island Motor Union’s council supported yesterday a recommendation sent forward from a recent conference of automobile association secretaries that the allowance to association members towards breakdown expenses should be increased from £lJ)s to £3.-(PA.)
