Manilla Hospital Board Approves Several Upgrades
The Manilla Hospital Board met last Friday with six directors present. They granted leave of absence to J D Kennedy and J N Kennedy, discussed a new director appointment under consideration, and planned to fit new delivery tubes to fire extinguishers as directed by the NSW Board. They approved rubber floor coverings in the entrance and hallways at £48 10s, with sanding of floors to precede laying, added Bechers to staff and allocated rooms for their use, and considered renewing hot water pipes. A £10 10s donation from Mr Frank Dalton via Mr A R Macleod was directed to hospital amenities, and Mr Dalton will be made a life member. The board approved hospital improvements totaling £597 15s for operating theatre, sterilising room, linen room, minor operating room, and entrance hall, to be carried out by Fraser Bros of Tamworth. An auction sale of excess furniture was approved. Financials show credit balance £1029 17s 10d at end-March after March accounts.

Librarian Reports High Demand Strains Library Stock
The Librarian Miss E. W. Stengert told the Municipal Council that rising enrolments have drained book stocks. With 310 total members and 195 children’s books, demand outpaces supply, prompting a plan to obtain outside books. If each enrolled adult borrows one fiction and one non fiction, three fictions and fifteen non fiction remain. Income to 31 March 1951 totals £18 13s 7d from subscriptions fees and fines.
