HOSPITAL LOAN
RATEPAYERS' OBJECTIONS
| The question of the proposed HosI'Pital Board loan was discussed and the following resolution was carried unanimously at a meeting of the Wellington Ratepayers' Association last night: "That in view of the fact that eminent medical authority has.placed the optimum size of a hospital as from 250 to 500 beds, and further that the city will later be compelled to build a hospital in the Hutt Valley district, this association views with much concern the extravagant proposal of the Wellington Hospital Board to borrow £600,000 to extend the present very large hospital Wellington now possesses. It further points out that the sjte of..the. present hospital is not ideal, and subsidiary hospitals must at some future time be built elsewhere." Members referred to the growing development in the Hutt Valley, Khandallah, Ngaio, Johnsonville, Porirua, Tawa Flat, and Plimmerton, all of j which pointed to the subsidiary accommodation, referred to in the resolution, becoming imperative. ■
