Federal-State hospital and public health

The Act will make it possible for the first
time for a national policy whereby'hospi
tals in the future must be planned,locat
ed and operated in accordance to the over
all health needs of the people!
Each year for five years $75,000,000 will
be expended with the Federal government
paying one-third and the local State
governments two-thirds.
Division of the Federal funds to determine
the amount of money to bo allotted tho
different states will follow a complicated
formula, devised to benefit as much as pos
siblo the low income districts where such
facilities arc most desperately needed. In
Alaska between $27,000 and $40,000 a year
will be available from this money to be
matched two to one by the Territory,
