STAND BY HOSPITAL BOARD
READERS will have noted with interest the firm stand taken by the Whakatane Hospital Board at its last meeting with regard to the present method of financing hospitals by the levying of rates., The motion, moved by Mr J. Mullins and carried by the Board without a dissentient voice, is a milestone in its history, in that it constitutes a firm stand for the first time on the question of rating on rural lands. The Board has for some years regarded the voicing of an opinion in this connection as beyond its sphere. Now however, its voice is definite and decisive. It favours the total abolition hospital rating and declares its opinion that all such institutions should be financed from the Consolidated Fund. The Whakatane Board is now to be numbered amongst those comparatively few Hospital . Boards who have made the same open declaration in this respect.,
