Hospital Site Given
By Love Family To
Benefit Beat Two
Petition For Bond
Issue Will Be Presented
At July Board Meeting

The Junior Chamber of Commerce
OF Durant reports that the proposed
plan for a hospital to be located in
Beat 2 of Holmes County is gaining
popularity.
Petitions to be presented to the
next meeting of the Board Of Super
visors asking that a bond issue be
authorized to support this program
r now being circulated among the
qualified voters. An affirmative re-
Spouse has been demonstrated by
those already contacted but it is
the desire Of the group to obtain
the signature Of every qualified vo-
ter during the next few days.
Loves Donate Site
Mr.. Marcus Love Sr. and MIR. Mar
Gus Love Jr. have donated a large
piece of land for the hospital site.
Taking advantage Of this opportu-
nifty to have a hospital in Beat 2 is
highly desirable according to the
Jaycees since it will be possible to
build a $184.O00.0 90. 23-bed hospital
at a cost to the community of 1/3 the
total value. The other 2I3 of the
cost is equally divided between the
state and federal governments. This
hospital will be a non-profit hospi-
tai, owned and operated by the COM
munity, which places no financial
burden other than the building cost
upon the community. Jaycees claim.
The proposed hospital to be To-
Gated in Beat 2 will in no way af-
feet the addition to the Lexington
hospital according to reports. Beat
2 has an A priority and the Lexing-
ton hospital has a B priority accord
ing to the plans drawn up by the
Mississippi Commission on Hospital
Care. the Jaycees said.
