assumed that for tile remainder of the
Financial year It will be possible to keep
the average daily number down to that
point (aliOnt 45), ii is because the Hospital
Commission, in accordance. with instruc.
tions from the Government, is taking strin-
gent measures to prevent the admission to
the Hospital on public account of estates
labOurerS not properly entitled hereto, and
also because the Hospital Physician has
in the last few months instituted a treat
ment of the sore foot patients, under which,
after a comparatively short stay III the
Hospital, they may be written off as out.
door patients III some measure fit for work.
Thus the sum that may be taken as
required for the care and maintenance OF
the sick during the remaining 8 months OF
the Financial year amounts to $l,480, or
S812.45 more than the nnex pended remain
der Of the grant. AS, moreover, it may be
assumed that something more will be re-
quired for medicines, it is proposed to
grant, under one, an amount OF 81 ,OOO for
the care and maintenance Of the sick and

The Governor said the gravel had to be
brought from over sea. Manure can Of
course be- of great value to some parties,
but to other parties gravel is Of much
worth too. But to dig this sort of gravel
and to bring it up i'll boats, could not be
had cheaper.
