HOSPITAL FUNDS
CONTROLLING EXPENDITURE LOCAL-BODIES’ SITUATION Press Association. NELSON, Wednesday. Conflicting opinions w’ere expressed during a discussion at the Municipal Conference of the remit from Masterton that local bodies be given direct representation on hospital boards. The mover said the body that collected rates should have some say on the body that spent them. The Mayor of Christchurch, Rev. J. K. Archer, said the ratepayers were to be considered first, and not the body that merely levied the rate. The ratepayers had the matter in their own hands, because they could elect whom they liked to the hospital boards. After speeches on both sides, the remit was carried. The conference also carried a remit that all charges for the upkeep of a hospital in excess of the revenue derived from it should be paid out of the consolidated funds, so that all sections of the community, and not only the owners of land, would contribute.
