THE PUBLIC HOSPITAL.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Kindly allow me space to enable the public to know some of the splendid rules, etc., that we have to abide by at our hospital. Two lady friends of mine, recent arrivals from the Old Country, expressed a wish on Sunday afternoon to see through our hospital. Knowing, as I do, that the interior and its appointments are well worth showing anyoody, I asked permission to take them over. After seeing the sister in charge, I was informed that the best she could do was to allow us to go down the corridors and look in at the ward doors, but must go no further. After such a sparse view of our fine building, the ladies left, feeling their visit was not worth while. I would like to suggest to ratepayers or sympathisers that while such rules exist they should not bother to visit our hospital even on the days that are set apart for visitors unless they have a ticket to see a friend (real or imaginary), in which case you may tv under through the building at your own sweet will without asking any favours. Thanking you for the space you have allowed me, —1 am, etc., RATEPAYER. Palmerston North, June 9th, 1924.
