t Shelburn, Incl. Sept. 16, 1947. Sullivan Daily Times: We're trying - to decide how the hospital addition will affect us. The thought at the moment is this: In typing elass they used the slogan "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid, of their country," but in tlife class of plain living it should be "Now is the time for .all to look beyond the end of their nose or toes." From the experiences of fourteen years we know that we, as a family, have greatly appreciated having a hospital available for four births, four tonsillectomies, a pneumonia treatment. Xrays for broken bones, blood counts and first aid. Then, too, we were one of those unfortunate parties who had to be admitted to a neighboring hospital and "sponge" - off of. that county for treatment while our politicians tried to tell the hospital board and doctors how to . run their business. After all, the business belongs to us. Prior to all these instances, we selected our doctor he came first and then, if we needed it, we expected to have a hospital room and equipment available not for the convenience of the doctor, but for us. It is for our convenience and welfare. I remember witnessing an amputation in our home.. I suppose any operation could be performed there, but would it be best for cur welfare? Sounds like ' . the dark ages to me'. From all the arguments going around, it seems that, 'we, little fellows will ... have to suffer while the politicians flourish . -' , . ' . ; .j ,; . As f finance, if we have , an assessed wealth of 10,000, we'd pay about S14- in faxes;-' that would be a smart amount for the assurance, of having- a room when we needed it, ok a small gift' to a neighbor should he need one. Let's pay it and have a first class hospitaL happy doctors,-.'a lull and well-paid staf.f of .contented nurses, and patients that, are receiving the care they. need. ' ' " Dorte'-ETCfiownlng'- ' : . . . . ... . . f Another' taxpayer. ;

A day or so ago the. taxpayers of Sullivan , County were given a picture of the proposed new hospital or - addition or additions which is supposed to cost the county 470,000.00.' It is a-beauts M thing.. I said .the . proposed new hospital or addition .or additions and I am wondering if it could be a new hospital out and out. They don't show in this picture where this addition is going to connect on to the old hospital. Are we going to have two separate buildings? Two separate heating plants so they can add on some more janitors? When you, bear the story that they have an individual taking options on the real estate west' of the present hospital on Graysville Street, you begin to wonder if this isn't going to be a new hospital? I understand they had one piece of property optioned for a figure of $8000.00 and if it is worth $3000 ' I don't know anything about values of real estate in Sullivan. . Are they going lo tear the Brewer Memorial Nurses Home down? How many rooms are there going to be in this proposed new hospital or addition? They tell me the picture in the paper is the picture only of the new addition and does not show the old hospital at all. . Looking at that picture one would.Jnave to assume j it would contain at least 30 or ,40 additional rooms not counting the ground story which I suppose is ' the basement and, the fourth floor which I suppose '. will be used for the operating rooms.1 With that' much more basement and it level with the ground, on top of the basement in; the old building ft would look like there could be some . rooms Jin this ground floor.. , ' . . J .; Now if you move the maternity ! cases, the isolation cases and the mental cases out of the old hps-! pita! then you are going to have Bome: vacant rooms in there. ! They, say the law requires that j they have ten. rooms vacant fpr

maternity cases; that will leave tea extra rooms in the old hospitaL.They tell me there are very-

few isolation, cases andnot manyi mental- cases ojt .an ; average but ' we will give them , an. average of

ten each. But that will make altogether 30 'vacant rooms in th6 old hospital! Wo have an average new of : ten oi twelve vacant rooms. That wilt make about 40 rooms vacant on :the average and that is not; sayin' anything about rooms that , could:' Ibe on the ground floor lor basetaent of the proposed addition, 'and not saying anything about the, extra rooms that could be made! out of the present operating rooms, nor the room where the babies are kept in the old hospital, nor the office and reception room if they movei these to the new addition and understand" the office will be. What the taxpayers would like to know is just how many new

rooms they propose. How many rooms will the maternity section be composed of? How many rooms will the isolation section be composed of? How many rooms the mental section be composed of? How many rooms it will require for the office? How large ,a reception room is going to be? How much space the operating rooms will take? Will the old operating rooms be utilized 1 for more rooms? What they propose to do with the ground floor or basement? Just where, is this building to be located? why they are taking options on real estate on West Graysville? How many pieces of this real estate do they propose to use? What is going tov become of the nurses home? Questions like these are in the taxpayers' minds and if they will clear all of these questions; up in the minds of the. taxpayers maybe they would all be for it or all agaiftst it. I for one am opposed to the present set up as it looks to me. I am not opposed to a maternity section of reasonable size, an isolation section of reasonable size and possibly a small mental section but this can be built for considerably less than $470,000.00. Owen County is building a complete new hospital and Owen is. about one-half the size of Sullivan County and it is costing them $100,000.00. Fountain County is building a new hospital but they are receiving one-half the funds from the federal government. Why not Sullivan County? . . A little taxpayer. . . (Known to Editor)
