CONTRACT—
(Continued From Page 1;
With reference to the termina
tion of contract at the end of 1950
at the request of either party to
the agreement. Dr. Jackman said
he felt it only fair, because of the
funds involved, that a year’s no
’c-‘ of such termination be sub
stituted.
Final decision on the three
ooints in question p’-obablv will
be made by Miss Katharine E.
Gladfelter. secretary of the de
partment of education and medi
cine, when the national board
meets on April 14 to consider its
annual budget.
Funds received from the Pres
byterian board are considered a
grant loan and do not entail re
nayment, it was explained. How
ever, should the board finance
' he construction of a new hospital,
nd then withdraw from its man
agement, the community would
be expected to repay the cost of
the building, much in the manner
of mortgage payments.
Dr. Jackman said the mission
appreciated the need for a hos- j
pita! here, and that everything |
would be done to fulfill that need !
as soon as possible. However, no j
construction can be undertaken
this year, for all building funds ;
already are obligated. |
