Guardians was specially convened, for the
purpose of reconsidering the whole uues-
ton relating to the nursing in the Long
ford Wor1xllollse. For nearly year this
subject has been cropping up, and it's
discussion has done much to embitter the
feelings between the guardians and their
medical officer, DR.. Cochlane, who in
sisted on having his own way, and said
that, if the Guardians did not provide
satisfactory night-nursing by March 20
the Local Government board would insist
upon the appointment of a trained night
nurse. which would cost the Union more
than would the two assistant nurses he
(the Doctor) asked for. The whole trouble
arose over the dismissal of a Miss Brown,

TO get unanimity in the board, but un-
successfully, and the meeting shortly af-
