Repeated efforts have been made to get improvements made. If the Board' made representations now, very likely the As* sembly might grant a sum to put the buildings in a fit state. He had often said before that they were a disgrace togttie country. I Iv Mr Peglar said it was necessary that something should be done in this direction, and Mr Lake said new buildings were required. The Chairman moved a resolution levying a rate of l-12d in the pound on therateable value of the rateable property in • the Auckland Hospital and Charitable Aid Board district for the maintenance of the hospital and refuges.

' •' Mr Lake moved, as an amendment, that no such allocation be made. This was put ' and lost. The Chairman's resolution was put and carried. '<'•«- Mr Lake moved that the money raised under the above allocation be not applied to the refuge. The motion, however, was not seconded. Mr Garland was appointed secretary and treasurer of the Board. It was agreed that nino form a quorum of the Board. A letter was received from the Government, stating that the Board had power to sub-divide tho districts, but the Government hud no power to sub-divide. The Mayor having stated that he did not think the Board would oppose the aepara* tion of any district from the Auckland Hospital and Charitable Aid district, Mr Lake gave notice to move that the Counties of Waipa, Waikato, and Raglan, and the Borough of Hamilton, be separated from the Aucklaud district for hospital and charitable purposes. The rules for tho Hospital, passed by theHospital Committee in 1883, wet a adopted ■ for the guidance of the executive committee. Mr Suiter gave notice to move, " That, at the end of the term for which the medicnl staff at present visiting the Auckland Hospital were appointed, the appointment or election of a medical staff be discoa* tinued, and that a Surgeon Superintendent, together with a House Surgeon, be elected or appointed to discharge the duties appertaining to the Hospital and Refuges, instead of the unsatisfactory system as carried on at present." Mr Kidd moved, "That the executive committee be empowered to inquire into all questions connected with the Hospital and Refuges, and report to the Board as its next meeting." Carried.
