AUSTRALIAN T.B.’S
REQUEST ROB THEIR RETURN. [Pee United Peess Association.] AUCKLAND, January 16. Complaint was made at a meeting of tho Hospital Board that two pulmonary tuberculosis patients, who arrived in Wellington from Australia in December, having served in the Australian Forces, were now in hospital here without means. Tho Chairman said that these men were found sleeping in the- Domain, and now wore a burden on tho ratepayers. Personally he thought the medical officer who admitted these men was liable. According to the Health Department regulations, these men should not have been landed in New Zealand. Tho board resolved to ask the Health Department to return the men to Australia.
