NAPIER.
This day.
No little excitement was caused by the publication of a telegram from the Colonial Secretary, apparently in reply to Dr Spencer, who has assumed the position of Chairman to the Hospital Committee, in reference to the election of the Committee. In accordance with a resolution passed by the Committee in 1878, and approved by the Government, the committee.consists of 10 members, two elected by Hawke's Bay Council, two by the Borough Council, one by the Wairoa Council, four by the subscribers to the Hospital, and the Mayor of Napier ex officio. The Hon. T. Dick's telegram is apparently in accordance with the suggestion, author' ises two committee men to be elected by the subscribers, one by Hawkes' Bay, Wairoa, and Borough to be disfranchised. The election comes off to-morrow at the request of numerous subscribers. Sutton, M.H.E., addressed a stronglyworded telegram to the Hon. T. Dick, repudiating Dr Spencer's action, and pointing out that he had not been authorised by the Committee to make any such secret arrangement. The Borough Council voted £200 to the hospital, and will decline to be misrepresented on the Committee.
The? rain fall registered in Napier during 1882 was 37 inches.
