MATERNITY HOSPITAL
SIR TRUBY KING'S GIFT. HOME ON MELROSE HEIGHTS. Wellington, July 28. The intention to hand over his beautiful Wellington home on Melrose Heights, adjoining the grounds of the Karitane Home, to the Plunket Society for a maternity hospital was announced by Sir Truby King at the annual meeting of the Royal New Zealand Society for the Health of Women and Children to-night.
The announcement made a deep impression on those present, and at the conclusion of Sir Truby’s speech Dr. Platts Mills asked all present to stand in honour of a great man who had been such an inspiration to all. Sir Truby said that the gift was subject to the consent of his executor, the Public Trustee, who had to seo that his daughter was safeguarded, but he thought that the property would be handed over within a year. Sir Truby added that the whole of the furniture, including a piano, pictures and other valuables would be included in the gift.
