HUTS FOR NURSES
TEMPORARY ACCOMMODATION AT HOSPITAL. ASSEMBLY NOW PROCEEDING. Pre-fabricated huts, supplied by the Public Works Department, are at present being assembled on the Masterton Hospital grounds to provide accommodation for the nurses evacuated from the earthquake-damaged Nurses’ Old Home. Pending the completion' of the huts, the nurses were being accommodated in the Lansdowne School building.
Six small huts and six large ones are to be erected. Two of the small ones have already been put up and one of the large ones is well on the way to completion. The small huts will each accommodate a porter and five of the large huts will hold six nurses and one ten nurses. The wet weather experienced today has delayed the work of assembly. Provided the weather improved, there was every prospect, said Mr Norman Lee, Managing-Secretary of the Wairarapa Hospital Board, this morning, that Lansdowne School would be released at the right time to allow school to be resumed after the term holidays. Everything depended on the weather, however.
