Hospital and Charitable Aid.
(By Telegraph.) INVERCARGILL, April 25. At a meeting of the Southland Hospital and Charitable Aid Board applications for sums, for additions to and erection of a new institution at Gore, were held over, pending the result of an expected amendment of the Act in the direction of reducing the size of districts. A claim was made for £9B for maintaining a family named Mcßride in the Nelson Industrial school. It appeared that the life of the father of the children was insured for £3OO, which a brother got possession of on his decease, and kept the children for a time. He then brought them before the Queenstown Magistrate, and had them committed to school. He admitted that he still had £lls of the children’s money, which was given up on the board establishing a legal claim. It was rosolyed to bring the matter under the notice of the Government, the Magistrate having committed the children, who were neither neglected criminals nor destitute. The board will levy a rate of I\d in the pound to raise £6506, one fifth of which is for charitable aid and the balance for hospitals.
