INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
Per Press Association.
WELLINGTON, September 19.
The number of oases of infectious diseases sent to the district hospital lately has been so numerous that the existing accommodation of the isolation ward and plague hospital has been found quit© inadequate. At a meeting- of the Hospital Trustees to-day Dr. Valentine, assistant?health officer, pointed out that it was absolutely necessary to immediately make better provision for the treatment of cases. He thought temporaiy relief might be obtained by drafting to Somes' Island such patients as were sufficiently recovered to permit of being removed to the quarantine station on the island. The trustees decided that although they had hitherto' attempted to. cope with an epidemic, they would resolve not to take men© cases than present accommodation at the district hospital warrants, and leave the other cases to be dealt with by the local bodies responsible.
