HOSPITAL ESTIMATES
SOME CHANGES MADE. GOVERNMENT PAYS EXTRA. Although considerable changes have to be made in the Wanganui Hospital Board estimates, they will not entail any difference in the amounts due from contributing bodies, it was reported at yesterday’s meeting of the board. Hospital maintenance submitted as £30,000 had to be cut on request from the Health Department in Wellington. The department had suggested £28,000 but a compromise had beo’i reached at £28,500, said the chairman. Collection of fees had been estimated to produce £7OOO, and the figure pul forward by the Health Department had been £9OOO. The figure had been fin ally set down at £BOOO. The postponement of the payment of the balance, £2,8000, of a steam heating loan, for twelve months had now not been granted, and its repayment had to be budgeted for this year. Taking the position its a whole, said the managing-secretary, the loan would be paid off without any cost above the estimates. Actually said the chairman, Afr W. E. Broderick, the Government was paying more under the new scale of estimates than it would have under the original.
