CORRESPONDENCE.

NOTTS!

[TO THE EDITOR.]

Sir, —The butcher fraternity of Gisborne desire to notify that owing to the condition of the roads all anatomical sections to he delivered will be charged at double rates. How does that sound ? Please insert this notice and intimate that, as a. matter of course, and having as high ideals as the butchers of any other districts, when the roads are in better-condition, we will reduce the charge to half present rate. —I am, etc., “TICKLED.” HOSPITAL MATTERS. [TO THE EDITOR.] Sir, —The M.P. of the Bay of Plenty and the Inspector General of Hospitals have liadi a long discourse and arc agreed that the hospital is a. disgrace. Well! well, and so it is, but we would like to> know; whoi is to blame P It is evident a new hospital is required, but because the member and the inspector are in accord with what the Hospital Board is doing does not give a guarantee for its wisdom. Rather the contrary. There never yet was a blunder that has not had the support of some expert or Government supporter. The reason “that the present state of things continue” is that people are disgusted with the lines the present institution is run on. What effort is being made towards getting the best out of small advantages? These are the sort of things that have had the effect of throwing conservatives with strong liberal leanings right back into the conservative ranks. The sop administration is so, much easier than is the strenuously qualifying one. It is only when suffering the pangs of political indigestion that one wakes up to the fact that one has been living on the wrong diet. It IS the age of contradictions and harem skirts! Explanations have been converted into a science. I know from my own knowledge that in every walk of life a washing-up time is essential and I would be glad to think that New Zealand’s washing-up time was near at hand.—l am, -etc., NOT A MEMBER OF THE H.B.
