HOSPITAL BOARD.

The ordinary weekly meeting of tho Hospital and Charitable Aid Board was held yesterday afternoon. There were present: Messrs W. R. Waddel (in the chair 1, Crowther, Goldie, Kidd, Isaacs, Siccol, Mackechnie, Wilson, Mays, Suiter, Lamb, and Udy.

RELIEF.—It was reported that tho follow ing new cases had been relieved in the city dur ing the month : 62 adults and 99 children those who had ceaseel to receive relief were: — adults, 20 ; children, 3S. Mr Udy thought they should make more careful inquiry into tho cai-es of relief granted. The Reliev ing Officer stated in his report :—"There have been but few applicants for the stone-breaking during tho short time it has been offered. As many will be uri accustomed to the work, it will take some time to enable them to make sufficient to maintain tbeir wives and families, and as they must live in the meantime, I would respectfully request and most strongly urge that the full price be given instead of the twenty-five per cent, reduction as agreed upon by the Board " — Mr Kidd moved that the Board should pay tho same amount for stone-breaking as paid by tho Council.--Several members thouyht tho system woulrl then cease to be a labour test.—Consideration of tho matter was deferred pending Mr Kidd's motion relative to the appointment of a charitable aid committee.

Year. Oi'er.tioss.— The report of the relief distributed .luring the year was sub mitted. It shotted that the expendituie on charitaolb aid had been £4,700, and the number of persons relieved was : adults, 935 ; children, 1,622. The expenditure averaged S_d per head on the population of the province. Tbo severe depression hat! caused v great exodus of mechanics tool her colonies, and tho writer (Mr Graham) was afraid that in the coming winter the bad times would be keenly felt.

Mr L'oonin's Account. —Mr T. W. Doo nin wrote, asking the Board tft poyhia overdue account for rations supplied since October last, and stating that the in terest on the amount was equal to double i he profit derived from the supply. — The Secretary stated that the debt would be about t:1,550 at the end of this month. It was agreed that the account should be a first charge against the funds of the Board. It was stated that tho indebtedness was not for goods supplied to any institution, but simply for rations supplied as outdoor relief.

Costley Bequest.—Some discussion took place on the subject of utilising the intorest from tho Costley bequest for general Hos pital purposes. Mr Mays moved that an overdraft be applied for, but his proposition was deferred. Mr Mayß then moved that the whole of the iotereak accrued on the Costley Hospital and Refuge accounts be placed at the maintenance account, viz.: —£2,751.He thought it a bad principle to ac cumulatemoneysforcominggenerationswhile the present generation starved.—Mr Goldie seconded tho motion. Mr Kidd moved, as an amendment, "That the amount received from the trustees be considered capital, and that the interest of the sum only be placed to management account."— It was said that this amendment was contrary to the legal opinion, andon being puttotbe vote was lost. —Mr Suiter moved,as a further amendment, " That the interest on the Hospital bequest be allowed to accumulate till the princi pal and interest reach £IS,OOO, and that the interest from the refuge bequest be utilised for tho management of theKefuge." Ho said the Hospital would require en largement in some years, and ii;-would be well to look ahead in the provision of funds. —The Mayor said he agreed with Mr Graham that their estimate would not be sufficient to meet the dis tress owing to the coming winter.— Mr Suiter's amendment was not seconded, and Mr Maya's resolution was therefore carried—MrGoldiemoved that the opinion of Messrs Hesketh and Richmond be obtained on tho power of the Board to spend any portion of the Costley bequests for Hospital or Retuge in the erection of buildings. Tho motion was agreed to.

Levy. — The Board then proceeded to the consideration of the levy for the year.— The Secretary stated that by using the proceeds of the Costley bequests they could reduce the levy from one-sixth to one seventh of a penny. The amount of the levy was fixed at one-eighth of a penny, and it was agreed that one levy should be made for both Hospital and charitable aid purposes.

Deputation.—Messrs Goldie, Mays, ond the Chairman were appointed a committee to wait on the Premier on various matters relative to the Board.

Ophthalmic Surgeon.—Drs. A. Chal linor Furchas and W. Haines applied for this position, and the latter was appointed, by six votes to four.

Committees —Mr Kidd's motion for v House Committea and Charitable Aid (Jem niit'ea was agreed to, and the following were appointed : — House Uommiltue : Messrs buiter, Kicool, Isaacs, Kidd, and Wilson. Charitable Aid Committee : Messrs Mays, Lamb, Udy, Goldie, and Crowtlior,

Overdraft.—lt was agreed, on the motion of Mr Maye, to obtain an overdraft to pay all the accounts for the present month.

Refuge Buildings.—Messrs Allwright and Mirfin reported adversely on the specificationa submitted by "Try." It was resolved, on the motion of Mr Goldie, " That the experts having reported that the specifications submitted by Mr Wade are not in accordance with the promise made by him in the letter accompanying his design, he be informed that unless a specification is forwarded before the 7th day ol April next, 'faithfully embodying tho original conditions, the Board will, witboutfurtber delay, reject his design."

THE DOCTORS AND THE FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.

Action of tne Rechabites.

The quarterly meeting of the Hope of Auckland Independent Order of Rechabites was held in tho Foresters' Hall, Karanga bapo Road, last Thursday evening, Bro--! ther E. J. Priestly, C. Ruler, occupying the chair. Bro. Rotherham, Secretary of the Tent, read a most satisfactory balance-sheet which showed the funds to be in a very healthy state. The Sick Fund is worth/ over £1,200, £1,100 of which is invested in? good freehold security at 8 percent. Eight new members have been initiated-' during the quarter, which brings the"7 present membership up to 259. Only _8_ > 19s had been paid away during the quarter for sick pay, demonstrating beyond dispute : the bentlit of total abstinence principlesin '■ promoting health. A long and interesting diEcussioD on the question of doctors' salary ' and their late action took place, on the ' conclusion of which the District Secretary moved the following resolutions : —

1. That we regret the action taken by our modical officers, in demanding an in- - crease at the instigation of an association with which we bad nothing to do with our ■ engagement with them. 2 That a more inopportune time could not have been selected, owing to the de- 1 predion that now exists in the commercial woild. ■)

3. That the only way we have of meeting the extra charge is by a direct levy on each member.

4. That tho Tont deem the principla adopted by the Association in making a uniform rate for all societies to be one at variance with all sense of justice, 5. That the known value of temperance as a preventive of aicknesß, and as insuring a more speedy recovery from sickness, ought in common fairness to have been allowed for.

6. That in order to ensure the Tent from any further erratic measures of the Medical Association, steps will be taken to consider the best means of obtaining a suitable scheme.

7. That the Tent felt every confidence la' its medical officers, and were prepared, and are still, to deal directly with tbom, with., out the intervening aid of any association; 8. That tho demand be agreed to, pend ing other action taken. The motions, as moved by the District Secretary, were carried by a large majority. The District Secretary moved the tallow ing : "That a letter bo forwarded by the outgoing mail through the district to the High Secretary of the Order. stating our position to him, and asking him to give us such information as he may be able to obtain as to the best means of obtaining a suitable doctor (teetotal) for' the Tent, and that on receipt of bis reply' the matter be brought before the Tent for' their consideration."

This motion was, on being put, carried unanimously. It was also resolved that it should be optional whether a member should be on the doctors' list or not in the future.

Owing to the lateness af the hour, it being past ton, it was decided to adjourn the meeting until Thursday, April 21st, when the matter of the equalisation scheme will be brought before the members for their consideration, This being of vital interest to the members and to Rechabitism generally, it was decided to invite the co-, operation and presence of the other tents in this district. 7

Metropolitan Racing Clubs and the Totalisator.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington, Monday.

The Colonial Secretary, in reply to _• letter from the Totalisato.r Conference, h_ pointed out that before any action can be taken in the direction indicated by the dele gates, legislation will be necessary in order to give metropolitan clubs a defined and legal status. Under the Gaming and Lot teries Act, ISS>I, the Colonial Secretary has no option but to grant a license to a racing club when recommended by the senior B.M! of the chief town of the provincial district. Mr Buckley suggests that the most e9»0" tual mode of carrying out the recommenda tions of the delegates would be to formulate them in a Bill, which might be introduced into either House of Legislature by some member interested it. racing matters, ,__
