“SERIOUS MATTER”
LEAKY ROOF ON NURSES’ HOME. REPORT TO BE OBTAINED. “Something will have to be done immediately or there will be an awful mess when the rain starts,” remarked the chairman, Mr H. H. Mawley, when references were made at today’s meeting of the Wairarapa Hospital to the unsatisfactory state of the roof on the new Nurses’ Home.
Mr H. Thomas said it was a very serious thing and he considered someone must be at fault. The roof on a £20,000 building should be fool-proof. Mr Mawley: “The roof is subject to a five years’ guarantee.”
Mrs S. Fletcher said she had been told that the diversion of the river had affected the foundations of the building, which was now liable to cracks. The Managing-Secretary, Mr Norman Lee, considered that the earthquake when the building was green had caused the trouble.
It was decided that a report should be obtained from,the board’s architect and dealt with by the Finance Committee.
