X-RAY PLANT. Mr W. J. Hall said he had been informed that the x-ray plant, when installed, would make .the hospital in this respect one of the best in the Dominion. The chairman said the plant had been laid up for some months, owing to the fact that an incorrect blueprint had been forwarded with the plant stating that 75 amperes would be required.
