Doctors Report.
ITO the Carter County Medical AS
sociation:
I'VE. your committee on county hos.
pital. beg leave TO report as follows:
That as a result OF our appointment we
made q thorough Investigation in Car
ter county as TO the necessity and ad-
vantage Of q county hospital. We find,
first, that the county itself in taking
care OF the poor could make u great
saving in expenditure by the adoption
OF county hospital. Second We find
that the services TO the public in gen
eral would be much better by county
municipal hospital. Third, we find that
the medical profession in general would
be greatly benefited by such hos.
pital owing TO the fact that any and
all doctors would have free access TO
the use OF this. and in addition, being
q hospital OF this nature, the equipment
for handling all patients would be much
more satisfactory. thus relieving the
county of the larger part, If not all Of
the maintenance Of the hospital.
I'VE further report that, in our opin-
Ion, hospital TO meet the needs OF
this county would cost TO construct
and equip approximately s20s s,000.''
THE above report so presented to
the Carter County Medical Associa-.
ton was by that association unani.
mously adopted.
"We. therefore, as an association,
respectfully request your body to call
an election to be held at an early date
for the purpose OF submitting to the

whether or not the county shall issue
