Hospital Board Plans
That most hospital bond own
ers are lined up solidly behind
the policy of their present hospi
tal board was proved by the an
nounced result of the recent sur
vey conducted by the board. Last
month the board mailed letters
to all bond holders asking them
to indicate their wishes in the
spending of the money.
From all letters mailed, a total
of 81 replies was received by the
board. Treasurer C. W. Peters
announced the tabulated results
of the survey at the last hospital
board meeting. These were the
results, according to Mr. Peters:
Money to be used for renova
tion and repair of existing plant,
69.
Money to be used for purchase
of new hospital only, 10.
Money to be used for purchase
of new hospital or purchase of
present structure only, 2.
Members of the board express
ed their gratitude for the com
munity’s appreciation of their
many problems and for their co
operation with board policies.
