AUCKLAND DISPENSARY.

Proposal to Hand it Over to the Mospital Committee.

A meetisg of the Committee of the Auck land was held yesterday after noon to consider the advisability ot asking the Hospital Committee to take over tbe management of tbe Dispensary. There were present:—Messrs W. Kattray (presid ing), R. B. Shakier?, J. Coupland, F. J. Bennett, J. tiaidy, J. Wiseman, and G. Oruickaliauk. The business of the meeting was introduced by Mr Sbaldera, who said they were ull aware that Mr Edward Costley had died, leavitig eight or nine thousand pounds 10 the Hospital. It hud been sugges od that the committee of that iustituuou should now take over the Dispensary, and provide an infirmary in tbe city, where urgent cases might be taken for treatment with as little aelay as pos sible. Tuis would cave a great amount of trouble, and wouid also be very beneficial to the patients themselves. People were frequently brought to town in boats suffer ing from serious injuries through acci dents which had befallen them. Tbe modes of conveyance were often rough, and the distance to be traversed invariably increased the sufferings of the ■patient. The Oispensary Committee bad no funds to carry out this object, but look ing ut tbe generous bequest made by Mr Costley, they thought the Hospital Com mittee might, be induced to take ever the management, adding an infirmary to the scheme which they had in view. The chair man said it was evident that a change should be made, as ih« public would not care to subsetibe to the Dispensary as well us the Hspital. The bequest by Mr Costley nave un excellent - opportunity for makiny the change.—Mr Coupland said ttiat as a committee, they could not do any thing residing tbe bequest. The subject which they were then aiscussing was one which had engaged tbeir attention for the Just ten year*. They had been looking at the difficulty and tbe nec< ssity of having more medical assistance close to the city. Uider the present system, if the suffwrs did not die on the way to the Hospital, il was possible they mi«ht. Jne di»tanco «as tuo great, while immediate attention and repose was gen»~"y necessary in these cases. Waen they got the £100 from the Indian Kclief Fund, they consideie* the nutter, and thought they would be able to do something, but it was all absorbed in outlay, while Mr Westwood's bequest of £100 went tho Mine way, liquidation of debts and certain necessary expenditure taking away nearly all of it. Now tnere was tliis bi quei-t of the late Mr Costley's. He believed it was the inteution of the Kcniiemaa in question that tbe money should be expended upon something for the bsuelit of the people-of this city, out if it were paid over and used for hospital pur |m-ua solely, it would siinplt be affording temporary relief to the Goyemment. There fore, he thought it de>ir»ble th«t the} they .-uould a-k ibe Hospital Committee to take tha dispensary over, aud at the same time to establish >.n infirmary in thocitj. The Hospital and Dispensary, in thenatmc ol their work, were really oue. If the luiuiuiii of the bequtst went to the ilos pitul funds, the Governmentactually got it, and tho town was not permanently bent) litted. Tuerc was sufficient of it to erect and endow a building, while they themselves might collect another £500 towards the end in view. The Hoipitnl and Uispensnrj would then bo receiving subscriptions towaras one and tho «amu ooject. There was great dilliculty now in collecting subscriptions, and they knew they could not get the same amount of money for the Dispensary as they did ten years ago, Jfeople said there were bo many things to contribute to, and they had to give towards the Hospital. He certainly thought the Hospital Committee should take it over. It had been suggested that there should be six or eight beds in a room in the city where a competent surgeon could take the management, attend to argent cases, and also perform the dispensing part of the duties. Such a provision would be of gieut benefit to people who met with accidents, and in many other c;ues. When un accident, occumd, half a-dozen people were sett for a doctor, and a duple of hours often elapsed hefore the services if one could be obtained. The speaker also drew attention .to the difficulty of ..getting injured people to the Hospital, and in stanced an accident in Urey-streot, where a yuuiig miiu was neatly killed, and sus uiucii most painful injuries. The only vehicle that could be ootained to take him to the Hospital was one of Craig's four wheeled trollies, and ia bie torribly-masbed state the joltiug must have been painful in the extreme. Stretcheis might easily be providod for the conveyance of injured people. "J he secretary should write bring ing the whole mutter under the attention of the Hospital Committee, and he believed, from what ho had been told by several gentlemen, that the proposal would bo well supported. When the Hospital commenced to collect subscription.ll, it was useless for the Dispensary Committee to think that they would also get contri butions, aid he, for one, would be dis hoartened. The two bodies should be amalgamated. The Government might give the £200 this voar, and they Had enough to cany them though the year, and to leave a balance of about £28. He did nut suggest the amalgamation became he wanted to get out of the work, but btcauMj the city neid^d it. He was willing t> con inue to collect subscriptions if the Dispensary were taken over by the His mtai authorities.— Mr BeuLett thought ihm tho c should bo some provision mau'e that pei.-ons applying for admission should be scruttu s.d on the »y*tcni of scrutiny which they had so sucjtssluliy adopted. —It wig pointed out that tbis was a mere matter of detail, while tbe suggestion was male that the presim. committee should aid in carrying on the work if the amalgamation were effected.—Mr Bennett said he would like to see that added to the resolution. It would be a pity to lose the services of the present aecr. t.ry and trea surer, who had worked so ably. Then, again, many people who were distressed would rather gu for assistance to a philan thropic gentleman than to a Government official. —Mr Coup'and : But the sub scribers could still have the privilege of recommending patients. —Mr Bennett : Well, unless this were done, I think we would be letting a good thing slip out of'our hands. -Mr Wiseman suggested that Messrs Shaldera and Coupland should interview lha Hospital Committee, and talk the matter over with them; — It was then moved by Mr Coupland, seconded by Mr Bennett, and. ngrecd— <:Tlaat tbe j
