They learn that the nurse is leaving shortly, being about to fulfil tne highest mission of woman, that of matrimony, and as Miss Stewart cannot recommend the probationer for the vacant office, she desires to engage some one with experience for the vacant post, and although this may cost £lO extra per annum, we recommend its authorisation, on the ground that efficiency in attendance to our sick is more important than a too rigid economy, Miss Stewart has further applied tor blinds to screen the rays of the sun on the western verandah, We recommend cnmplianoe there, with, at a moderate cost. The cistern has been repaired as authorised. Learning from Mr Finneran that a force pump would be required tnr the nsw cis'ern, and that one could be obtained for £4 (ordinary cost £6), we authorised ths purchase of the same.—E. F.
