Commissioners Rescind Memorial Idea
Board Takes Atiion
Monday; Trustees
To Still Funtiion
Controversial Subject
Moy Be Dropped BY
Boord At July Meeting

The Noble County Commits
sioners did a complete about
face, Monday, when they re-
scinded the motion they ap-
proved on April 10, 1854, for
the erection of a memorial for
the veterans of Noble county
and the appointment of a
board Of trustees for this pur-
pose.
At the Monday meeting, Com
missioner H. c.. Williams moved
that the motion that carried at
their meeting of April l9, 1854,
be rescinded. Ernest Secrest
seconded the motion. Williams
and Secrest voted yes with the
third member of the board, w.
c. Toad Davis, not voting.
1t was Commissioner Davis
who introduced the original
motion for the memorial on April
10Th. 1t read as follows:
And that there be erected
monument for the veterans of
Noble county Of all wars and
that there be appointed board
of trustees as provided for in
section 345-08 of the revised code
of Ohio, and this board to pro-
ceed with the necessary proceed
ure in erecting a monument"
Once this board of trustees was
organized, the sole authority for
selecting and determining the
type of memorial was vested in
this board.
Although they rescinded the
motion, it is understood that the
commissioners by this action can
not dissolve the board of trustees
and they will continue to
operate. 1t is quite possible that
the board members themselves,
may vote to disband. Their next
regularly scheduled meeting is
! slated for Tuesday, July 6.
The commissioners had made
it clear to the board of trustees
and the general public that they
wanted stone or granite monu-
ment erected in the courthouse
lawn.
But they reckoned not with the
public and veterans organizations
for storm of protest broke loose
and with two exceptions, they
favored a living memorial. The
lone exceptions were the Ameri-
can Legion posts in Caldwell and
Summerfield.
By resembling their motion, the
commissioners have also indicat-
ed that they will not furnish the
necessary money for any mem
orial which the board of trustees
selects.
The next move is up to the
trustees, each of whom was
hand picked by the commission
ers to serve for this purpose, and
it is quite possible that the con-
troversial project may be drop
ped.

committee by Mr.. F. George
Sanburn, chief of hospital
facilities, division Of health, Co.
lumbus. Mr.. Sanburn was pre-
sent at the meeting held We'd
nesday evening in the Caldwell
grade school cafeteria.
In discussing the hospital
plans for Noble county, Mr.. San
burn stated that, from the ivory
towers" in Columbus, as was
indicated on a carefully prepared
chart, the hospital services for
the people of Noble county were
being adequately met by hospi,
tails located in neighboring coun-
ties.
However, Mr.. Sanburn did
state that these facts were
merely statistical.
Commenting on decisions made
by the department in the past,
he admitted their judgment was
proven wrong in a few cases,
but by and large, the chart pre-
sented an honest picture.
In the course of his discussion,
Mr.. Sanburn emphasized the
exact nature of a hospital, noting
that it is a community institution
and the customs of the COM
munity establish its policies, and
many times directly affect its
operations, successfully or other
wise.
At the present moment, Mr..
Sanburn stated that funds from
the Hill-Burton act would not
be available to Noble county. He
did leave the matter open in the
respect that if the survey show
