SOME IMPORTANT BEQUESTS.

BY THE LATE MR ANDERS ANDERSON.

GREYfOWN HOSPITAL LEFT A SUBSTANTIAL SUM.

The will of the late Anders Anderson, of Duncroft, Featherston, contains some public bequests aggregating a * fairly large sum. The Public Trustee is executor under the will, and is instructed by the will itself to pay the sum of £IOO to the Trustees -of the Wesleyan Methodist Church at Greytown; £IOO to the Trustees of the South Wairarapa Hospital at • Grevtown; £IOO to the Trustee of the'Wesleyan Methodist Church at Featherston towards the erection of a new church. A codici to the will makes another bequest of £IOO to the Trustees of South Wairarapa Hospital towards the erection of a new hospital, and directs* that a proportion of the residuary estate after payment of bequests is also to go to the same trustees, It is anticipated that this latter amount will be in itself a substantial sum, running into hundreds. t ■ BThere is a clause in the will wmch .teads as follows:—"A proportion (en umerated) to the residuary escate is to be paid to the Trustees for the time being of a Home or Hospital in the Wairaarpa for incurables, and if there bo no such Home in the Wair- • araDa then to the Trustees of the Home for incurables in Wellington provided that 'should this bequest go to the Home in Wellington, preference is to be given by the Trustees ■or authorities thereof to patients from the Wairarapa district, whenever vacancies occur, in proportion to the amount of help given to the hospital or Home by this bequest/' This amount will also be a fairly large one, and as there is no Home for incurables in Wairarapa, the Wellinton Home will benefit under the will. ,
