“LOTTERY SYSTEM NO GOOD”
FOR FINANCING HOSPITALS NEW ZEALAND’S SYSTEM PRAISED [By Telegraph—Press Association] AUCKLAND, This Day. “I do not think that the lottery system of financing hospitals is worth adopting,” said Dr. J. W. Craven, superintendent of the Auckland Hospital who returned by the Wanganella today after attending the cancer conference at Canberra and visiting fourteen hospitals in Melbourne and Sydney. Not all those hospitals, he said, were publicly maintained, some relying on voluntary contributions ■ and some on state lotteries. Some were community hospitals and others charity hospitals. “The lottery system is too chancy,” he added. “Our own system of financing hospitals is admirable and I don’t think it should be changed.”
