[to the editor.] Sir —Some time ago I saw in ynm paper that the Hospital Committee had adopted a code of laws similor to those of the Hokitika Hospital. Since then I ,b.ave seen in the - West Const Times an advertisement informing the subscribers to the .Hokitika Hospital that the annual election of.a committee ■would take place on a certain date, as also another ..informing ; the public- the dames ,of those gentlemen , who had ; been elected. . How;-it. .Strike.! me . that .the same couise.ahould be adopted Ju Honiara; , and; if the ‘.new committee have' lioeii .elected, • .the public, .of this town should know who they 'are; ami, if j j;.not, then steps should be taken to advertise, tjie coming election ; not to > Jeave it as hitherto, for the committee / to. nominated at a meeting where three-fourths of the audience are nei- . . , H*r,snbscrilners. nor ticket-holders. : T a contested election Would impart /jßpine interest, and also a little capital • fOßtbpbenefit of. the Kumara Hospital v ia the way ofsubseiiptions.— l am, J Paul Pry.
