Hospital Board Land
Sir, —I thank the secretary of the Hospital Board for his reply to my earlier letter. If, as he stays, “no sale will be made unless the price is satisfactory,” can we assume that the sale will be made if the price is satisfactory? Any valuation can only be as of current date, ignoring the accretion that 50 or 100 years might see. Corporate bodies do not die, and the land will be there centuries hence. It should still be available to the public weal even then, and not just an advantage enjoyed by a private society. I presume that any Labour members of the board oppose this move, committed as they are to the public ownership Of natural resources. They seem to have been singularly quiescent on the point—Yours, etc. Yours, etc, OBSERVER. April 18, 1967.
