KIWANIS CLUB FAV0RS
ENLARGING HOSPITALS

The question OF present hosI ital
conditions and the building of a
county hospital by the tax payers
of the county was tabled at the
meeting Of the Kiwanis club Thurs
day noon at the Oliver hotel after
a committee had reported in favor
of the county hospital plan.
The opinion Of the club was even
ly divided between the enlargement
Of present hospital facilities and the
building of a new county institution.
Some favored both plans and the
necessity of more bed space in the
immediate future was urged as
against the building of a new hos
pital
The committee composed OF Mayor
Carson, Rev. A. NJ. Eells and Mel
son Jones reported as in favor Of
the county building. Mr.. Jones
stated he still maintained his stand
of a week ago that the greater need
was in the enlargement Of present
hosI itals.
At least a year and a half before
dirt would be turned and four years
before completion OF the county hos
pital plan was the estimate of s. p.
Schwartz who urged immediate steps
be taken. The lowest estimate for a
new institution is about $500, coo
with $4,000 annually for upkeep.
