LADY MEMBER'S VIEWS
Mrs. A. M'Vicar, who has also had long experience of hospital affairs, and has been interested in the ambulance movement since its inception, is definite in her assertion that a great mistake will be made if the finances of tho service are in any way jeopardised.
"The old hospital ambulanco service," she said, "we all knew to be hopelessly inefficient. The present service is an admirable one, of which too much praise can scarcely be given. To my mind, an efficient ambulance is just as necessary to the people of "Wellington as water or street lighting, and we were very disappointed indeed when the council turned down this year's grant to the service. Everyone knows that the council is ill difficulties, but it should have given something to assure the carrying on of a service as necessary —moro necessary, in fact —in difficult times as in good. If they cannot give the whole amount, it is up to them to give at least a substantial portion of the grant.'*
