Survey of Hospital
Need Is Being Made

Herbert G. Fritz, Baltimore, direc-
tor of the hospital survey committee
of the state, was in Oakland Monday
to make a survey of hospital needs
of Garrett county.
This committee was appointed by
Governor O'COnor several weeks ago
and operates under the hospital facil-
tiles division of the State Planning
commission Members of the commit
tee will make a survey of each county
in the state and make a report to the
governor on the needs in the different
areas.
Should federal funds become avail
able for hospital construction, the
funds would be expended in the areas
where there is the most need. A bill
now in Congress, already passed by
the Senate, would provide matching
funds to the extent of AZ percent as
an outright gift, to be administered
under state supervision, for hospitals
Mr.. Fritz met with the County
Commissioners, and the executors of
the will of the late George W. Loar,
on Monday afternoon, and discussed
the outlook for the hospital here and
the possibility of obtaining funds to
add to the amount set aside by the
will.
With the need of hospital here
being realized by state officials, the
State Planning commission promised
Senator B. |. Gender some time ago
that when the state survey started
the start would be made in this
county, and this visit of Mr.. Fritz
was for that purpose
