WILL NOT BE CLOSED. The "Otaki Mall” says:— “lt has in certain quarters that our Mayor (Mr. Brandon), has been doing but little In connection •with the local hospital, which, it .Is stated, is ('likely to be closed, but it may be mentioned that Mr. Brandon has been in close touch with the authorities for the past six months and Is now In possession of information which he has no hesitation in saying will assure to the inhabitants of Otaki and the district in general that the hpspital will not oe closed but will be brought up-to-date to cope with the requirements of the district. Mr. Field, M.P., who has taken a keen interest in the matter, advises Mr. Brandon that he has had a lengthy interview with the Hon. Mr. Young, the new Minister of Health, with very satisfactory results. Mr. Brandon has now decided to call a meeting of local doctors, if necessary, to meet Mr. Field and the district representatives on the Hospital Board when matters will be fully discussed. Mr. Murdoch, Mayor of Shannon, who is strongly opposed to the usefulness of ih e institution being curtailed, has signified his intention o? being present. It is unlikely that the hospital will be closed, but, nevertheless, further developments are eagerly awaited.”
