HOSPITAL BOARD
GOVERNMENT CUTTING OF FUNDS. (By Telegraph —Per Press Association) AUCKLAND, April 22. Almost overv Cabinet Minister lias made a statement that no persorr slmli lie allowed to starve- and they have referred persons asking for assistance to the Hospital Board, said Mr Wallace, Chairman of the Auckland Board. This does not square with the most recent statement of the Government tnar we must drastically curtail expenditure. Air Wallace added that his Board would frame its estimates just as if no Government instruction had been received. The Board was empowered to make a further levy on local bodies. It had never been done before, and if the Board was now compelled do it, the Government would be responsible The Board would economise drastically. but by no stretch of imagination could lie see the Hoard meeting the Government’s demand.
He had told lion. Stall worthy that its Chairman of the Board, lie would not see any person, starving in Auckland, and Air Stallworthy replied.— “that is what 1 want you to say.” 11l view of that, said Mr Wallace, he was unable to understand the Government's attitude.
