HOSPITAL RATING
At a meeting of the Palmerston North Labour Representation Committee, the following resolution was carried and is to be forwarded to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health: "That we enter a most emphatic protest against the proposals of those owners of rural and urban lands who urge the derating of their holdings for the maintenance of hospitals. We contend that this small levy is hut a portion of the commun-ity-created value given tc land by virtue of the growth of population, and this levy on land is one of the fundamental purposes allowing the State to call for national service from the landless during a period of national crisis."
