OBSTETRICAL APPEAL.

HAMILTON’S RESPONSE. TOTAL REACHES £370. The Ilamillon contributions to the Obstetrical Endowment Appeal Fund total £370 15s. This amount comprises donations from the Boiough Council and medical practitioners, and donations made as a result of the liouse-to-housc canvass. There are still a few small amounts promised to come in, and several outlying districts have yet to forward returns. It is hoped by the local executive that the remaining £l3O will be forthcoming by the end of this month. The business area of the town will be canvassed shortly, and sympathisers are reminded that a subscription list is open at the Waikato Times Office.
