Robert, wish the Clerk (Mr. John Evans). LIVERPOOL HOSPITALS. THE DUTIES OF WELSH BOARDS OF GUARDIANS. MORE LIBERAL CONTRIBUTIONS NEEDED. Mr. John Williams brought forward his motion in favour of the Board coatributing liberally to the funds of the Liverpool Hospitals and, in doing so, intimated that he had baen influenced in taking the action he had decided to take by the appeal made by the Welsh Committee of the Hospital Sunday Fund associated with the North Wales and Liver- pool Medical Charities. This Committee was ap- pointed in 1903, and asks for contributions from Nor.h Wales towards the hospitals in Liverpool, wmch are receiving every year numerous patients from the Principality. The Committee receives all minies contributed and pastes them on through the Hospital Sunday and Saturday Committees to the various institutions receiving the fund, accord- ing to the proportion, well ascertained, of public benefit from them; contributions ear-marked for particular hospitals being so applied. In their re- port for 1907 the Committee state "During the past year, efforts have been con- tinued to obtain funds from North Wales towards the cost, to the Liverpool Medical Charities of patients from that part of the Principality. The jcJalance Sheet shows that contributions have come from a wide area. We are grieved to notice again that, from certain localities—some of them sending a large number of patients for treatment—the contributions are small or altogether absent. We would earnestly appeal for more generous consideration. It is right at the same time, to recognise the continued faithfulness and liberality in other quarters and the encourage- ment we have in the addition to the congregational collections. Tms proves that greater? interes-t is taken in oar efforts to bring to a worthier level the recognition, by our fellow-countrymen, of the bene- fits derived from the Hospitals. In order that their Welsh friends might be made fully conversant with the requirements of the position he had set them forth in a Welsh circular, that had been forwarded to every member of the Board, and in the course of which Mr. Williams states I gave a notiee of motion at the last meet- ing of the Board of Guardians, proposing that we as a Board, should subscribe towards the mainten- ance of the Liverpool Hospitals. Therefore, I feel that I am under an obligation to bring forward suffi- cient reasons for my proposal, because my firm belief is that not a penny of the rates should be wastefnlly spent. In regard to public matters I am strongly of opinion that no reforms or improve- ments should be carried into effeet before a fair and impartial discussion has taken place as to the merits of such proposals. After a careful and patient consideration, I am fully convinced that the North Wales Boards of Guardians are under moral obligations to support the above-named hos- pitals. In connection with this matter, there is rather a painful fact published through the Press, pointing out that the whole contribution from North Wales does not reach a fifth part of the Hospitals' cost-hardly :£300, to meet an expense of £ 1,600. In addition to this, the expenses of the "Eye and Ear Infirmary" and "David Lewis Northern Hospital" are to be added to the defi- ciency. This state of affairs puts North Wales in a very awkward position, because the officials of the hospitals feel as if the above-named B lards are taking advantage of their generosity and, if so, there is danger that, in future, they will be under the necessity of excluding patients from North Wales, unless the subscripfcioss are substantially increased. The Hospitals are helped with sub- scriptions by about twenty-five denominations in Liverpool, and the total subscribed amounts to close upon £ 17,000. This sum, I suppose, is sub- scribed towards patients in and about the City. According to the Hospital Statement of Accounts, published in January, 450 patients from North Wales were admitted to two of the hospitals. What is the total number in the whole of the hospitals I am unable to state. However, the subscriptions are only from a few places and, further, there is no account of some religious bodies contributing anything at all. It will be seen that these remarks only give an indication of the pressing nature of this timely quesftion Ought the Board of Guar- dians to subscribe from the rates towards the Liver- pool Hospitals?" (It is known, of course, that some Boards are already subscribing A5 5s. Od., and have done so for many years) I am convinced that all these Boards are morally responsible to assist for hundreds, if not thousands, of people from North Wales have been under treatment in the hospitals. But, putting aside the moral obligation of the past, what is the relation of this subject to the present and the future? It is true that the Guardians represent the ratepayers and. dointr an ought to do what is best and most advantageous to them. It is also true that subscriptions are sent from several places, &c., to the Committee-but ° ?? aTUQ-.t? £ fc0 meet a* expense of £ 1,600, at two hospitals only, in one year and 'he argument that private subscriptions make uo VHRF is short to meet expenses falls to the ground It is quite plain that it will be a financial gain to the ratepayers if the North Wales Boards of Guardians are substantial subscribers, for it must be admitted that there is a danger of the hospitals closing their doors against patients from North Wales. There is another point of importance to be noticed, v z, that the cases sent to the hospitals are of an excep- tional character therefore the question is How many would have to be supported from the rates if they were left at home under the care of local medical men ? At least 100. costing, on an average £10 a year and making £ 1,000. Again, if all the Boards were to subscribe £ 5 each, the total would only be one-tenth, i.e., £100. Be it understood that this is only a rough statement, showing the ap- proximate fini.no al advantages to the ratepayers if the Boards of Guardians were to subscribe towards the Liverpool Hospitals. In conclusion, Mr. Williams said I cannot help admitting frankly and openly that we have been in North Wales imposing upon the good nature and kindness of our English friends in Liver- pool until, at last, the threat comes to clobe out L North Wales. In making this statement I don'c mean to accuse all Unions of beiner annnnnprn^ and negleelful-some localities have done well ve done well, and it is to the credit of some churches making efforts. F*w Boards of Guardians, however sub- scribe £ 5 5s.—which I consider but small,'com- pared with the interest and the immense saving co the ratepayers generally. I know of churches subscribing two or three guineas in a year, getting tickets to the amount of six, seven, and eight guineas and, as a matter of fact for these two guineas it costs the Infirmary about £ 40. Mrs. Richards Supposing we desire to send some- one to one of these institutions, can we do so unless we are subscribers ?-Mr. Williams: You find some churches subscribing two guineas and otfca's five or ten; and th sy take them from both alike.-The Clerk At the Royal Infirmary public bodies who are annual subscribers of £ 5, pay at the rate of 14s. per week for the treatment of patients; and the average cost to the charity is "bout 21s. per week.—Mr. Williams There is this defioiency of £ 1,300 so far as North Wales is conoerned.—Mr. W. Parry made a long statement as to how matters were arranged at the Northelff I Hospital, Liverpool, with which, for many years, he had been officially connected. There patients were admitted without fee.—The Clerk We have sent patients to the Eye and Ear Hospital, and there the charge is 8s. 6d. a week.—Mr. Williams, The points for the Board to decide are (1) shall we subscribe or not; (2) To what institutions shall we subscribe (3) What amount shall we subscribe; and to how many. Until I had gone into the matter, I may say, I never dreamt that the case wa6 so serious and I happen myself to have been subscriber for a year or two.—The Chairman And it is a ease that many of these hospitals threateo to close their doors to North Wales.—Mr. Williams: j It is in the circ^rs I received when I sent for particulars.—The Ch drman I take it that all these j Hospitals and Inti. varies are endowed. If we are spewing anything on the Welsh it should go to tb» Welsh Ci nmlttee.—Mr. T. Thomas said he should certauily support the Board contributing Y,5 5s. to the fund on condition that they obtained a certain number of tickets.-The Clerk said that, hitherto, when they desired tickets they had fished fot them. Their position, so far as the Local Govern' ment Board was concerned, to grant these subscrip"- cions required to be kept clearly in mind. Mr.ThoØø.1J Ellis said he would certaii ly second a proposal W contribute £ 5 5s., and Mr. E. B. Jones said he cott* sidered this amount to be all too small to give to sO good a cause.-After further dkcussion it waS decided to instruct the Clerk to write to the Welsb Hospital Committee asking what benefit the Uniol1- will derive if the Board of Guardians contribute Y,5 5s. to the fund. DECIDED ELSEWHERE. Mr. R. M. Davies had placed a notice on tlØ business paper of his intention to move that the Board revise the cases of all recipients of out-rehel over the age of seventy with a view to sum equivalent co the amount aged paupers be entitled receive if they were not in receipt 0 oat-relief. He stated, however, that he was sotrf his resolution had been ruled out of order bl superior court; and, therefore, he could not move THE RATE. Upon the Board proceeding to consider the making of the rate for the next half-year, Mr. Job" vUlliims said he would impress upon his broth4* members the necessity of doing all in their powe' to keep it as low as passible; as the increase in the demand made for coonty and othe purposes WAS becoming a very serious mattet indeed to tha poor people of the Union. After care' ful consideration it was decided to recommend the Overseers to issue a precept equal to 6d. in the pound for the purposes of the relief of the POO" and of 1?. Id. in the pJund for county purposes In Merionethshire and Denbighshire. The rate is to same ae in the corresponding period, l§d. having to be added for overseers'expenses of collection, eta. YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE hOUSE. Mrs. Richards, on behalf of the who had been appointed to report as to the em?*0?, ment of young people in the Workhouse, that so far as the gins were concerned peared to have plenty to do but they though alditional employment, in the way of odi about the house, might be found for the bOY" Mr. Chas. Roberts threw out the suggestion tb»6 it might be wise, under the circumstances, to confllider the advisaoility of boarding the boys 0" 0. —It was eventually decided to instruct the masf! tJ find, where possible, additional light work to* the boy* in the house or garden, and the Boa*a then adjouirned.
