HOSPITAL BOARDS' CONFERENCE.
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 9. The Hon. G. Fowlds, in his opening address at the Hospital Conference, said the Government's Bill was in no sense a party measure, but one demanded by public opinion. He quoted figures to show that while the population of the Dominion had not- doubled yofc the expenditure on hospitals and charitable aid had nearly trebled'. The increase of-charitable aid had gone without the bounds of reason despite the prosperity of the last 12 years. He hoped one result of the deliberations would be a reduction in this cost, especially on outdoor relief, which could not but have a bad effect on the Dominion at large.
