INCREASE IN ANNUAL LEVY > AUCKLAND, May 1. Tn order to cope with the increased maintenance costs, the Auckland Hospital Board to-day decided to increase the levy on local. authorities for the coming year to 30d in the £ as against 25d for the past year. This means that the authorities 'will pay £1 this year, compared with £91,647 last year, an increase of £22,883. If we keep to the old levy, we will end up the year with an overdraft of £40,000,” said the Chairman (Mr W. Wallace). “ I realise there will be a great howl from the local bodies, but I am prepared for that. We have to make ends meet.”
Apart from maintenance costs, the principal item of expenditure for the coming year is £40,000 for the infectious diseases block.
