BOMBAY FOG
Sir, —The Hospital Board in it 3 wisdom has decided to build a sanatorium for T.B. cases on the Bombay Hills. There can "be more fog and mist about these hills than anywhere else near Auckland; therefore, the site is quite unsuitable for such a hospital. Often I have driven over these hills in daylight with headlights full on owing to such fog. How splendid for the patient? in their open-air shelters. Let the Auckland board remember the fate of the Cambridge sanatorium, which was given np chiefly on account of the mists, which are common about the Cambridge hills. I would suggest that the activities of the board be postponed for 12 months and during that time records be obtained by a careful observer as to humidity, etc., about these hills. If this be done a stupid mistake will be avoided. Ex-Sanatorium Superintendent.
