situated in some suitable house in the south-east corner of
the district. The cost of this arrangement would be as
follows:—
£
Capital Charge (to include cost of equipment
of one Centre) 200
Additional Annual Charges—
Temporary Assistant Medical Officer 438
Temporary Health Visitors 330
Rent, Rates, Taxes 90
Heating, Lighting, Cleaning 25
Printing and Stationery 20
Postages 15
Drugs 30
Materials and Medical Requisites 20
Sundries 30
Total £998

therefore, to the Council would be £599 for the first year,
and £499 in subsequent years, as against £874 for the first
