The Hospital Board! was to have taken over the institution on September 1, but, as the result of the! urgent representations of nearly all the patients, the Government has decided that the- Defence Department shall retain control. A special meeting of the Hospital Board was. held oq Saturday to consider tho whole matter, when very strong exception was taken to Hie. attitude of] the Defence Department and of SurgeonGeneral McGavin.
