HEALTH: At a meeting of the Mildura District Hospital a letter from Mrs J W Washington, stated that she would donate a block of land to the hospital in the “Broadway” subdivision on condition that a house of not less than 400 pounds be erected. The offer was accepted, the house to be let or sold. Further committee members made donations of windows (Mr Hammer) and bricks (Mr W Bowring). Many others might like to donate small parts toward the building.

SWEET: Mr H B Watmuff and Mr H F Midgley, of Curlwaa, intended to leave Mildura this morning to arrange the exhibit of citrus fruits at the Royal Show, Melbourne. Mr C Watson als
