G. Gibbs, W. -1 A. Armstrong, A. G. Betts Jnr., L. W. i Field and Withers. I When hospital board levies were un- ; der discussion the secretary, Mr E. R. ; , i Neale, pointed out that the Nelson j I board was proposing to raise a loan of j (£45,000 which would not even touch] , I the question of providing additional 1 1 ward accommodation. Additional ac-! commodation would have to be provid- j fed shortly and the total likely to be! 1 spent on new buildings was about: . j £150,000.
