HOSPITAL BOARDS
CONFERENCE AT WELLINGTON. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 2. The Hospital Boards’ conference adopted a recommendation that the principle of the proportion scheme for subsidies on rate levies proposed by the Government be approved, but that the minimum rate of subsidy be I2s 6d in the £. An amendment moved by the Waikato Board that the minimum should be 15s in the £ was lost by 21 votes to 11.
