Hospital Tea Bill
A suggestion that the reported shortage of tea in the Dominion might have been caused by large purchases by public institutions was made at a meeting of the Palmerston North Hospital Board by Mr. A. E. Mansford, when he asked why there was an account of £ll3 15s for tea. He said he thought the position should be made plain in view of the statements that had been made in the press. The managing-secretary, Mr. A. J. Phillips, said he ordered 5001 b of tea when he heard that there was to be a rise in the price some months ago. The board had enough to last from four to five months when the stocks were examined at the beginning of the month. A considerable saving had been made by purchasing in advance.
