At these homes the fee is £1 (10s. per week, which covers the entire cost of maintenance, medical attendance t andnursing. I think it may be desirable that the scheme Should be extended, and brought undor the notice of Friendly Societies. _At present the accommodation is limited to those -in receipt of incomes of not more than £4 per week.
