Members of various Hoards seem only 100 ready to vote away the ratepayers’ money with a lavish hand, and often, to, there is extravagance in the management Here attention is drawn to the position owing to the fact- that the hospital levies oil local bodies again show an increase this year to the amount- of £-”>ot-0- Ihe local bodies v-ho have to meet the hill have no control over the expenditure. ISoth hospital accommodation and charitable aid n.re. in the opinion of many people, a good deal abused in New Zealand.

Owing to increasing exjiemliture there is every probability that Wellington property-owners will have to submit to a further increase of rates in the near future.
