HOSPITAL INQUIRY
CITY COUNCIL’S ATTITUDE PROTEST AT HEAVY BURDEN (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON. Thursday Evidence before the Royal Commls•fon Inquiring into the affairs of the Wellington Hospital were given to-diy by the Wellington town clerk, Mr E. P. Norman. He pointed out that on the figures available Wellington was already more heavily burdened with Hospital Board contributions than any other city in New Zealand. Hospital extensions should be as economical as possible without loss of efficiency. The City Council felt that the Government should make a special annual contribution additional to the usual subsidy in view of the widespread demands made on the Wellington Hospital. Tfie something had been done at the hospital and made no objection to the changes. Its objections were largely due to lark of information with regard to alternative schemes, and also to the possibility that no disinterested people had made a dispassionate examination of the effects the board’s proposals would have on the finances of the city.
