Hospital Fund Heed
Immediate need of the Valley
Hospital to raise community
funds of $6,500 for repairs and
remodelling was told to the Ki
wanis Club at its last meeting by
Mrs. Jesse DeVries of the hospital
board.
Asked to spearhead the com

of directors has taken the prob

cision has been reached, officers
said.
With funds for a new building
in sight, the hospital board still
is confronted with the emergency
of present demands. Under the
building financing program new
quarters probably cannot be be

There will be no further meet

Group until further notice, Mrs. j
Allan Mick announced this week.

basis. Does the municipal gov
ernment have to borrow enough
money to carry on its functions

sary to have enough advance
funds to carry over until a budget
can be laid out, a tax rate set,
property assessed, and taxes col
lected in advance for the first
year of municipal operation?
Please accept our best wishes
in your development. We know
the city of Palmer is, and will
continue to be one of the out

ritory.
Very truly yours,
Guy B. Hayden,
