COUNTY SITE
FOR HOSPITAL
County Commissioners Wage
Fight to Locate New Insane
Hospital In County.

St. Louis County VIII be brought TO
the fore by the county commissioners
for the location of the new insane
hospital for northeastern Minnesota
authorized at the last session of the
legislature and for the location and
building of which hospital commits
sion is now about completed.
The battle for the hospital was pre-
cipitated last week when Commissioners
Stuart Murray and John M Pasich
stated an aggressive effort would be
made to locate the new hospital in this
county and that a resolution would call
on Governor Olson and other state off,
Gals 10 support st. Louis County 10
have the hospital constructed in this
county.
st. Louis county is unquestionably
entitled to consideration in this matter,
not only because Of its many ideal To-
cations for hospital Of this type but
also for its large financial support of
tn state government, Commissioner
Murray said
This county has been recognized ma
tionally as leading agricultural area
as IS evidenced by the award to the Al
club Of st. Louis county of a $4,000
club building by Sears Roebuck & CO.
To provide healthful outdoor work
for its patients a hospital should be
located in good farming community.
The present state administration
should also lend its support to this
county because Of the support its voters
have given its leaders.
There is no sense in people Of
this county supporting other areas for
the hospital when they have the best
place in Northeastern Minnesota avail
able as a site for the hospital, Com
missioner Murray said
