POST MORTEM
USE OF MORGUE REFUSED
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
WAIHI, This Day.
At a meeting of the Waihi Borough Council last night a councillor drew attention to the fact that for the second time the use of the morgue at the Waihi Hospital had been refused by the medical superintendent to doctors acting under instructions from the Coroner to hold a post-mortem examination. He thought it was scan-dalous-that there should be a mortuary there and that the Coroner was obliged to have examinations held in the back premises of some hotel in the town. He moved that the Town Clerk obtain full information regarding the recent happenings concerning the morgue and report fully to the council with a view of placing the facts of the case before the Ministers of Health and Justice.
