UPKEEP OF HOSPITALS
NATIONAL LOTTERY SUGGESTED. (United Press Association.) Dunedin, September 21. At a meeting of the Port Chalmers Borough Council to-night, the increased hospital levy was discussed and a member strongly advocated a revision of the hospital rating system, contending that the present rating was an undue burden on the ratepayers and suggesting that the necessary finance should be raised by a national lottery. The council unanimously decided to instruct its representative on the Otago Hospital Board to urge the local Member of Parliament on the board to bring the matter before Parliament with the object of having a lottery sanctioned.
