HOSPITAL AFFAIRS.
Sir, —Having rtjad your sub-leader, and aLso an article on the above question which appeared in Wednesday's Hjsbald, it appears as if only a properly constituted public inquiry will meet the case. If the statements made by the architect are correct, and there is no reason to believe otherwise, he is right in demanding a fair and open hearing. On the face of what has been published the board also should insist on a public inquiry, for the chairman of the board has stated that the board desired it, therefore the matter cannot be shelved. No public body can carry out its duties as it should if there is not harmony among the heads of the various departments, and the sooner the whole thing is thrashed out the better it will be. A lot has been heard about the extravagance and waste of money in connection with the hospital, and an inquiry will show whether the alleged extravagance has been due to the.new buildings or to the general administration of the hospital and its services. The public have a right to know for they are the people who have to pay, whether they use the hospital or not. Rytepaykr.
