HEALTH INSPECTORS.

AM), THE HOSPITAL BOARD. Mr T. V. Moore expressed the opinion, at the meeting: of the Wairarapa Hospital and Charitable Aid Board yesterday that the services of the South Wairarapa Sanitary Inspector should be dispensed with at once. The Chairman stated that Inspector Miller had been given three months' notice, and Ihis term did not expire until the end of September. The Central Committee had been authorisd to call for applications for a second inspector for the district, and it was, he understood, proposed to call applications at once. Mi* T. V. Moore thought that applications should have already been called, and that the applications should have been before this meeting of the Board. If applications were now called, ihe;r South Wairarapa would be without an inspector for a •fortnight before the Board's next meeting. Mr Fisher moved, to get over the difficulty, that the Central Committee be empowered to make the appointment. Mr Moore seconded.

Mr AVilson thought it desirable that the Board as a body should make all appointments. K> did ™t, think the .matter should be delegated to a committee.

The Chairman said a special meeting of the Board might be called to deal with the matter. Mr R. B. Robertson objected to members being" called together for such a ptirpose. After further discussion, Mr Ewingfcon moved as an amendment that the next meeting of the Board be held a fortnight earlier thnn usual, so that the appointment of an inspector can be dealt with. Mr J. Dawson seconded the amendment; which wag carried 011 the voices.
