Moore (chairman of th« Makara County Council), expressed tlie opinion that tllie institution should not bear tho cost 6f tlno treatment of olcoholisni and venereal diseases. Mr. Moore said that people should bo made to nar for tho consequences of their own deliberate acts, and that the monoy paid in the treatment of such casw as lie had mentioned was money paid for iniquity.
