OTAKI HEALTH CAMP
ADDITIONS TO COST £19,000 (By Telegraph.—Special to Times) WELLINGTON, Tuesday Extensive alterations and additions to the children’s health camp at Otaki are to be made in the immediate future. At a meeting of the King George V. Memorial Fund Board a grant was approved not exceeding £14.000, additional to the grant of £SOOO authorised in July, to meet the cost. This work will entail the complete replanning and refitting of the toilet blocks for girls and boys, the erection of a new school block, dininghall, kitchen and laundry blocks, including the installation of a new hot-water system, the building of roads and the provision of drainage. The camp originally consisted of the circular Anzac and Suvla wards from the old King George V. Hospital at Rotorua. These two buildings, which were re-erected facing the north, were connected by a corridor. Subsequently staff quarters and a schoolroom were added. Now it is proposed to throw out three wings at the rear or southern side of the present building. :
