THE HOSPITAL

THE HOSPITAL
Last week in our news columns
we presented a picture OF the pre-
sent status of the hospital plans.
Many people, hearing Of the can
collation. Of the $350,000 federal
grant, made the observation that
we are fright back where we
started"
That is not quite fact. It was
nearly four years ago that the
Kennewick Chamber of Com
merce first appointed commit
tee headed by Urban Keolker Ito
see about getting a hospital for
Kemewick." That committee has
worked diligently against over
whelming odds of time, red tape,
federal bureau complications and
many other stumbling blocks.
They got the grant Of $3.50, 900.

ate Bill AGO sets an example OF
fairness and solicitude for its en-
ployees. The Authority may bar
gain collectively with its employ

are assured. Politics is definitely
eliminated as a measurement OF
fitness for occupation within the
Authority. The merit system, as
it has been developed, is the only
yardstick for securing jobs and
promotions.

school building in Ritzville.
2. Establishment of a local air.

into the more "filling" things,
