Mr. Church speaks 70 troy CAuU
Among those attending the meet
ing of the Troy Business and Pro
fessional Mems Association last
Wednesday noon, was Paul K.
Church of Libby. Mr.. Church came
for the purpose of explaining the
new hospital project at Libby.
Mr.. Church, in his talk, stressed
the need of a 25-bed hospital for
the communities of Troy and Libby,
and stated that the Embarrassing
campaign would be undertaken the
fore part of December. Walter Nor
rison and Fred Perkins have been
appointed on the finance committee
for this community. 1t will be
necessary to raise from $4,000 to
100000 in order to complete the
project. The first cost of the hos
pital will be in the neighborhood of
S225. 600, of which a little over half
has already been subscribed by st.
Johns Lutheran Hospital Associa-
ton. This organization expects to
erect and maintain the hospital. Mr..
Church stated that the hospital
committee hoped to secure enough
funds through payroll deductions
from members of the unions to
raise $4,000. A building spot has
already been purchased in Libby
for the new structure, which he
stated will be of fire-proof con-
struction.
Mr.. Churchs talk was well-re-
ceived by the business mems assoc
iation and much interest was shown
in the project. The organization
voted to have the Troy members of
the finance committee, Messrs. Nor
rison and Perkins, attend the meet
ing to be held November %, at
which time some definite action
would be taken as to ways and
means of raising Troy's contribu
ton toward the new hospital.
