The Wairau Hospital and Charitable Aid Board

The Wairau Hospital and Charitable Aid Board meets on the second Monday of each month in the Borough Council Chambers in Blenheim. Funds are obtained from levies on local governing bodies, with a Government subsidy of £ for £, and from direct donations, and the proceeds from public functions, with a subsidy of twenty-four shillings in the £. A small amount is also annually derived from the rent of a portion of the Hospital reserve. There is no Old People's Home in the Wairau, and provision is made out of the Board's funds for the maintenance of the aged poor in private lodgings. Members of the Board for the year 1905: Messrs R. J. Bell (chairman), R. Goulter, W. Adams, W. H. Macey, A. Jackson, W. B. Parker, William Murray, P. Meehan, George Armstrong, E. H. Penny, S. M. Neville, and J. J. White; secretary, Mr. C. J. W. Griffiths.
