Kelly 16 N. Main St.; ' . Sullivan :

(Continuation of a letter by Bill Hays.) Dear' Editor: ' On the "in favor" side of the hospital issue, here are some things I believe are true you check them with . .. people who

know and see whether I'm right: Although it's true the Mary Sherman is a "fifty-bed" hospital, at least ten of those beds are set aside as obstetrical beds (for mothers, not bassinets),' leaving only a maximum of forty beds for all other eases. The number of. patients each day in the hospital during 1946, other than obstetrical cases, averaged more than forty, meaning that there were not enough beds on an average to care for the" general (other than obstetrical) ' patients. On an average in that year, which is the latest full year we have to deal with, there were about four or five obstetrical patients in the hospital each day, who, under State law, must be segregated from general patients, thus meaning that on an average there was , more than enoughroom (With ten beds) for these; but they are required to be segregated, and there were many over-average days, when the ten obstetrical beds were full and that ward was over-flowing, too, against the law, into the general wards and beds. I think any doctor will tell you that there would have been even a much larger daily average of general patients, had there been room for them in the hospital. Numerous families in every community of the County know this from having' been unable, because of lack of room, to get ailing members into the hospital when hospitalization was very important to their healing, v : The present hospital is entirely non-fireproof, meaning that we're constantly subject to Fire Marshal orders to correct this, at unlimited expense to the County.

Similarly, we are daily violating laws and Health Board , regulations regarding cubic-feet space for patients, non-segregation of contagious diseases and mental cases, and so t forth, meaning again that we're subject to expensive change orders in the immediate future and are on Federal and State "blacklists," so that, for example, our , hospital doesn't qualify for Federal aid and nurses training here aren't accredited at other hospitals. Building costs are . unusually high now, . and it's anybody's guess how long that will last, but I'd say for several years (ask some good builder about this). That means it'll cost more now to build this enlargement than after prices come down in a few j ears. But, at the same time, interest rates on bonds like these are lower now by at least half than they will probably be in a few years (ask a banker' about this), meaning that we will have to pay now only 2 maximum interest (and maybe only 1 and ), as against about 4 interest in a few years. The difference between 2 and 4 of $470,000 is $9,400 per year a substantial saving over a twenty-year period,' even with yearly principal reductions. But the main point here may be illustrated by this analogy: the fact that food costs are unusually1 high now does not enable us to forego eating, upon penalty of impaired .health and even death, until the cost comes down. We vitally need to eat, so we're forced to suffer some on cost; : - I understand that the Courthouse bonds are Sbout to be retire and that, by coincidence, their principal when issued was about the same ,as that of the proposed hospital bonds. This

means that the new indebtedness' for the hospital bonds, with their

14 cents per $100 tax rate, will simply replace the old Courthouse bond indebtedness, thus not materially increasing the over-all County tax rate. As to the recent deficit in hospital operation, last year's was in, large part attributable to new wiring ordered by the Fire Marshal to be installed, necessary new kitchen equipment (which

still isn't adequate), fracture

equipment, and other unusual expenditures. For several years before last year, the annual deficit, if any, amounted to around, $3,000, average, br less. But the

point is that few hospitals of the fifty-bed size are self-sufficient, particularly from room-rate collections. It's the laboratory and other extra fees that pull a hospital over the hump in most cases, when it does get over. The cost of operation does not increase in exact proportion to the number of beds, any more than the cost of hotel operations increases in direct proportion to increased number of rooms. The more patients that pay roomrates, the more of. each roomrate is profit, if any. An improved, better equipped hospital will make it easier to attract 'nurses, too, instead of harder. .

Those are some of my reasons! for favoring the program. Maybe I'll change my mind on new evidence, but I don't think I'll find

any. Respectfully, Bill Hays
