INFECTIOUS DISEASES HOSPITAL.
TO THE EDITOR. —Those members of the Hospital Board who at the late meetings of local bodies declared emphatically that the infectious diseases hospital could not bo built in the grounds of the general hospital because of the roughness of the ground and insufficient area, are now brought face to face with their own previous resolution, " that there should be an infectious diseases hospital in the hospital grounds." It is quite evident that when the Board passed this resolution the area was considered sufficient and the ground suitable. The Board may rescind the "resolution, but thoy cannot rescind the fact that, according to their own showing, the site is a suitable one. ■
In a recent issue of the Herald it was stated that a contract had been let for an infectious diseases hospital at Christcburch, with kitchen and all other offices complete] for £1299. Dr. Mason at the conference stated that the cost of taking water to Point Chevalier would bo £1300. This is £1 more than the cost of a whole hospital at Christchurch. If you, Mr. Editor, can find a Latin quotation suitable to this position you might put it just here, as I am unable to find polite English fitting to the occasion.— I am, etc., J. A. Walker. Dovonport, April 3, 1903. ■
