To all the people of Sullivan County, Indiana, concerning the $470,000.00 bond issue for pro

posed additions to the Mary Sher-' man Hospital. , We have secured information concerning the operating receipts and disbursements of county" owned general hospitals throughout the state from 1940 through 1946., The , operating ..- receipts showa are from-dperatjiotos at the 'hospital' a ndt do noi' ihcfude dlny money "received .. from tax .levies,

i-Ien of 'the. 7 'county owned and

operated hospitals . have been able to keep their operating expense within the limits of their operating receipts Clay County, adjoining us on the north is a good example. It has approximately th.e same population as Sullivan County, and during the past few, years the Clay County hospital, which has 57 bed.s, has been able to operate without any revenue from tax sources; The county hospital rate as adopted by the County Tax Adjustment Board for Clay County for 1948 is 2 cents, In Putnam County U is 5 cents; Greene County is 12 cents; Clark County 5 cents and Jackson County 13 cents, while our county originally asked or 38 cents, which was reduced by our County Council to 17 cents. People of Sullivan County: Do you- want to double the size of your hospital, which is not -required, until you are satisfied that what we have can be man aged without this- excessive tax

rate? No evidence has been given us 'that this large addition is required. A law has been . passed but no evidence has been given in support of that law; Let's have the evidence before we take on that load. Let's all sign petitions opposing this bond issuei r Sullivan County Taxpayers Association.'

I'm putting that at the ginning of my letter, so won't even have to' read to

end of it to find out who's writing. I've noticed that most of the letters to the Editor oh the subject . of the hospital particularly those against the proposed enlargement program have been signed "Taxpayer" "or "Businessman" or something of the sort; and I don't want to be classified with those who 'don't want to sign their names to what thy write. Also, in case you're interested and so there won't be any mistake about it from the first, I'm in favor of the proposed hospital program; but my reasons for favoring it are based on the evidence I've seen on both sides, and not on prejudice for or against any group, nor on the statements of some windbag who' says I should be for or against it, nor on the testimony of someone Who hasn't taken the trouble to learn the facts as well as he can. I may not know all the facts, of course, but I've tried to run them down; and I'll be glad to be corrected if any of mine are mixed . up. I'm certainly willing to have my rrund changed, if the facts justify it but it'll take

facts, not herssay. ' Regardless of the fact that I favor the program personally, I believe that the' only way for everybody to approach the matter is for them to do some digging around for themselves to ' find out the truth; and not accept as gospel what somebody like, me puts out in a letter to the Editor or what someborly has to say in a speech or in a paid advertisement, I've talked to the people who I would expect to know most about the . problem, both as to need and a$ to financr ing. To me, that includes the hospital board, the doctors of the County, the officers of the. County who have anything fSdo' with County finances, patients, past and present, and . practicing builders. I'm not able to convince myself that I should put much stock in the claims and statements of people who are suddenly coming out' as experts on hospital administration and ' whose i only . previous . experience with j the Mary Sherman have been i automobile- rides past the place.

I pay a. few taxes, I decided to find out what it's all about, because I certainly was no such expert. I recommend the idea, because I've learned some things. I'm still a long way from being an expert, but. at least I admit it and I'm a little more up on things than I was before I started. Speaking of the doctors, I heard the other day that some folks, who . have been talking against the program have stated that the doctors favor it because an enlarged hospital will make that group more money. Well, aside from that fact that some of the doctors have pulled some folks out of some pretty tight squeezes around here (and half the time didn't get paid for it, at that) and not counting the fact that our County's doctors work around the clock, winter and summer,, trying. to keep us from killing ourselves and, for mv "money, earn what they make, I would say that if the doctors are so crazy after money as all that, they'd better .start fighting , the program, because they can make a bigger fee calling on someone at his house, whom they can't get into the hospital for lack of space, than they can calling on him in the hospital - room; also, they'd better fight it, if they want to make more money, because if the County buys" some

X-ray and more laboratory equipment with the proposed bond money the doctors won't get to collect personally for the use of such things. But then I really can't believe a claim that the doctors favor the program for personal money-gain would actually be taken seriously by anyone, so I guess that must have been meant as a joke. Of course, some of the doctors who have healed some of that sort of people without collecting for it can't

quite see the humor involved in the joke; but some doctors don't have much sense of humor, I guess. If I may say so, it looks to me like there are two main things to Consider in attempting to maka 'a decision in this matter; the first is the question of need does the County, for the welfare of the people of the County, need a bigger and better hospital as is proposed; and if so, as the second question, is the proposed program of financing and building It a sound one in' the light of the

need? If the answer to - both

those questions is "yes", I'd say be for it, regardless of propa

ganda to' the contrary; but if the

answer to either of the two ques

tions is , "no", then I'd sav be

against it in the same way. Buf I would certainly urge everyone

to find out the facts for himself, j and not to rely on the testimony t of people who couldn't be expect' ed to know what they're talking i about.

Respectfully, ' Bill Hays (To be continued Monday)
