Pierce County's senator's

was to take action to build up the
hospital.
Hamilton informed him the

do almost anything ii likes,
and could remove the hospital
from the control of the county
commissioners if Ii so desires.
Rep. Dixon said a meeting of
the Pierce county delegation would
be held Thursday night to discuss
the situation.
