Williams, J.
(concurring). I concur with my sister Coleman but I have one reservation.
The Attorney General correctly pointed out that the referendum resolution of May 26, 1970 advised the people of Jackson only of a transfer of W. A. Foote Memorial Hospital from the City of Jackson Hospital Authority, and did not advise the people of a possible further transfer to a private nonprofit entity, the W. A. Foote Memorial Hospital, Inc.
*228If and when such a transfer is contemplated, there could be questions of whether there had been proper notice unless other appropriate notice is given, Alan v Wayne County, 388 Mich 210, 354; 200 NW2d 628 (1972). Without such proper notice an attempted transfer would be invalid.
I concur, however, because actual approval of the transfer to W. A. Foote Memorial Hospital, Inc. neither appears to be a part of the major opinion nor in any event a necessary part of the decision.
