EPIDEMIC EXPENSES
ACCOUNTS THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO FACE. Press Association. AUCKLAND, May 21. Some idea of the cost involved by the influenza epidemic was given at the meeting of the Hospital Board. The chairman stated that tho Minister for Public Health had declined to pay the epidemic food relief accounts contracted by the sub-committee of the board. These accounts aggregated about £IOOO, and there seemed nothing for it but for the board to foot the bill. The Minister informed him recently that the Government had expended in con uection with the epidemic in Auckland alone between £32,000 and £35,000; in addition tho board was paying, on behalf of the Government, from £9OO to £IOOO per month in epidemic pensions.
