WAIPARA HOSPITAL.

TO TITE EDITOR OY U THE TRESS. M Sir, —Y our correspondent "Viator" is in merry mood, and may his merriment bo the means of moving the. hitherto immovable. The latest conception of the body that meets at AVaikari "to ignore the roads," which is not quite a hospital nor quit© anything else, calls for ridicule when reason faileth f "Viator" suggests the AVaipara as the' proper site for this institution, along with others, as adjuncts, and with his permission, I would add one more, in which some of our worthy fathers cotflii receive a course of suggestive therapeutics, for obvious reasons. Wore there any souse at all in the hospital AVaipara is the converging point of the districts served, and there the fishing should be, but so devoid of sense is it that it matters littlo to us of the eastorn end of the county if they, put it in the Hurunui Gorge. As we or the eastern end havo at present no notion-of supplying the funus for it, it matters but little to us where it goes. As the whole funds of the AVaipara Comity arc at present insufficient to put the roads of the eastern end in repair, the scheme should bo relegated to quietude till more opportune times. £10,000 -iwoitld' not put the county roads back into<tho condition they were in five yeara'ago, such has been the neglect, aid 'if " pT% member doubts the figures, j; will .'to a pleased to give fuller Tliis is not a time to be xushing with., mad hftste into expenditure of thousands, :.and,vl tender my appreciation to that. member of the Chxistchurch Hospital'Board-who had the grit to say so the other day. s ' AAV are not an abusive and' wo certainly would not have tofcraf£d' r «& : long, such palpable incapacity/ as is evidenced on the whole of If the abusive tongue called."
