GreenbeIt Votes
| Against 81 Tax
For Hospital

Residents of Greenbelt, Md, have
tentatively decided against a pro-
posed 81 annual tax per family to
maintain the Greenbelt Hospital
after January 81, the date on which
it has been ordered closed.
Announcing the results Of q poll
of families, the Town Council last
night reported the proposed assess
ment had been opposed by nearly
two to one.
The Farm Security Administration
has given notice to the Council that
it will no longer have funds avail
able to support the hospital and the
local governing body decided the 81
tax would be necessary to maintain
the institution.
Approximately so per cent of those
polled, however, indicated q willing
ness to pay so cents per family, II
that amount is sufdcient to keep the
hospital open. This support, it was
indicated, would depend on partial
payment of operations cost by the
F. s. A. The Council voted to confer
with the r. 8. A. In an effort to reach
. solution.
