A telegram from Wellington in forms us that the member for Wai kato (Mr J. B. Whyte) on Thursday gave notice that in Committee he should move that — The following subscription be added to clause 74, Hospitals, &c., Charitable Institutions' Bill, " Alsoin cases where the settlers are unable to avail themselves of any existing hospital, and where the local bodies may desirt to establish one : and that, where a new district has not been de clared, a sum equal to two pounds for every pound of grants by contributory local bodies, subscriptions, receipts, or donations received, may be paid during the first five years following the estab lishment of such an hospital." Mr Whyte's object is to give new hospitals a start in comparatively poor and sparcely populated districts. Not having yet received a draft of the proposed Bill, we are unable to enter into the merits of the case.
