TUBERCULOSIS
SANATORIA CONTROL WAIRARAPA HOSPITAL BOARD RESOLUTION. ‘‘GREATEST SCOURGE IN COUNTRY.” “That the Wairarapa Hospital Board agrees to combine with other boards for the joint control of the Otaki and Pukeora tuberculosis sanatoria, or any other necessary sanatoria, on the condition that the majority of boards in the area, and comprising at least 60 per cent of the total valuation as a whole also agree; representation on the committee to be based on the proportion that the rateable capital value of the respective boards bears to the rateable capital value of the boards,” was a resolution passed at the meeting yesterday afternoon of the board. Mr Duncan McGregor said the board had no alternative. The tuberculosis business was like trying to bail water out of a tank while a tap was running into it. Money should be spent on preventive work. Mr Trevor Beetham said the combined effort would be more economical. Mr J. F. Thompson said he heartily supported the move. The only regrettable part was that it had'been so lt>ng delayed. Tuberculosis was the greatest scourge in the country.
