LEPER STATION.
URGENT REQUIREMENTS.
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 11. In a statement to-day Sir Maui Pomare, as a result of his recent visit to the leper station at Makogai, draws attention to some urgent requirements, including wireless and an ice plant, and makes an appeal for a hall in which to instal a cinema that has already been provided, also for funds for a rest home for the nursing sisters of the Order of Mercy, whose work and devotion is worthy of all the help possible. There are now over 400 lepers on the island, including about 200 from Samoa Cook Islands, Niue and a few from New Zealand.
