A public recognition which was overdec has I ecu made in regard to the work of Mr G. Davidson, a member of the Westland Hospital Trustees, in the matter of beautifying the hospital grounds. Mr Davidson is a very regular visitor to the hospital now for a long time past, and takes a very personal and practical interest in the institution and its surroundings.
