Some months ago the Whangarei Hospital Board sold the Kamo Springs property to an undisclosed Auckland principal for £3912, subject to a publican’s license for the building being granted to the purchaser. The license was duly granted by th - Afarsden licensing bench, but two days before the bar was opened an objection was made by tho New Zealand Alliance, which, however, decided to postpone action pending decision in an Ashburton case which was regarded by both parties as a test case. The Hospital Board was yesterday advised that the principals, J. Troy and Kells Mason, of Auckland, did not regard the purchase as valid pending the Supreme Court judgment on the Alliance objection. The board, after a heated discussion, pending legal advice, resolved to refuse to sign the agreement endorsing the principals’ contention that the sale had not been completed. There can be no doubt that the Chancellor’s attitude at the reparations conference has given the proceedings a decided filip and there can be no douht that the bargains offered nt Hannah’s November sale cannot be beaten Hannah's, Napier and Hastings.*
