£75,000 WANTED
Hawke’s Bay Hospital Board EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE Dominion Special Service. Napier, June 17. Application for the sum of £75,000 is to be made by the Hawke’s Bay Hospital Board under the terms of the Earthquake Act for the rehabilitation of property destroyed by the earthquake and the repayment of existing loans. When this step was proposed at the meeting of the board yesterday afternoon, opposition was raised to It by several members of the board, who expressed the opinion that in view of the present financial situation of the country the board’s demands should be cut down as fine as possible. It was pointed out, however, that although application was made for £75,000, it was not expected that all this amount’would be granted, as there were ten other local bodies in the district who were also seeking assistance and there was only £250,000 available
