The matron applied for and it was decided to purchase twelve chairs and two bedsteads for the nurses quarters at the Dunstan Hospital. Tenders are to be called for concrete and trellis work at the Cromwell Hospital. Mr Ritchie was re-appointed to the Waipiata Sanatorium committee. Dr Valentine telegraphed in reply to a deputation (Messrs Spain and Black) that had waited on him that he considered it would be more economical to make Dunstan the main hospital and reserve Cromwell for maternity cases. Mr Spain thought Dr Valentine was begging the question of T.B- shelters at Dunstan. — The chairman was pointed to wait on Dr Valentine when in Wellington.
