The jalmerston North Hospital Board yesterday received with regret the resignation of Mr S. A. Broadbelt, of Levin. Mr Broadbelt stated that he found he could not give the necessary atention to the Board’s work. In expressing appreciation of the services Mr Broadbelt had rendered as a Horowhenua County representative, the Chairman (Mr J. K. Hornblow) stated . that it was true he was concerned with so many other public bodies that it was difficult always to give time to the affairs of the hospital. He moved thatthe Board record his services during a period of 11 years. Mr G. A. Monk seconded the motion, stating that Broadbelt evidently found himself in ' the position in which others far removed from the Board’s found themselves —they could not give the Board’s affairs the attention tft . which they were entitled. Mr Broae■belt had formerly been on the HorJwhen County Council for many yea^. # , Messrs F. J. Ryder and G. P. Catley associated themselves with the resold tion. [
