HOME.TO BE.CLOSED
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, September 26.
After being in continuous operation since 1920, the Evelyn Firth Home, in Parnell, is to be closed, according to a decision of the Great War Funds Administrative Committee.
The chairman, Sir James Gunson, reported that' there were only three patients at the home who could be regarded as being permanently disabled through war service. Of 15 patients in the home one was first admitted when the home opened. Twelve of the patients were more or less invalids, but by no means the type of case for which the home was originally provided. The present weekly expenditure was £62, of which the Government found £45.
