HOSPITAL’S THREAT
MAY GENERATE OWN POWER A threat that if the power board did not treat the Hospital Board more leniently, it would generate its own power was made by the chairman of the Hospital Board, Mr. W. Wallace, yesterday. “I understand that the Wellington Board pays 50 per cent, less than we do,” said Mr. Wallace. “If the power board will not meet us, it will be our duty to go into the question of competing against it. The Hamilton rate is also much less. I understand we have any amount of steam, and that we could generate our own power.” Mr. M. J. Coyle: They a.re a hard lot, these power boards. Mr. S. J. Harbutt: I’ve been recommending that we generate our own power for years.
