The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Nelson, Marlborough & Westland Provincial Districts]

[introduction]

The only charitable institution in Blenheim is the Wairau Hospital, which is (1905) about to be rebuilt. The Hospital and Charitable Aid Board levies a rate, which is expended partly in the up-keep of the hospital, and in the granting of necessary outdoor relief in the district. Orphans are sent to suitable institutions in other provinces, but their maintenance falls upon the ratepayers of Marlborough.
