Hospital Association.
Dear Subscriber: . . _ ,_., , ’going forward pj -Considerable time lias passed | time until further financial
since our campaign tor funds arranged, w’as first commenced and no jA*
doubt you are wondering what [ ferences
progress has been made in I - —achieving our purpose of build-1
ing a hospital. I
Our drive for funds we thinkj
we can count as a success. We*
met with a very generous re
sponse on the whole but, of
course, there are still others who
have not yet contributed and
whom we believe will yet do so.
We must compliment many or
ganizations for their fine work
on behalf of this worthy object.
The following is a short sum
mary of the funds with which
we have to work:
Cash on hand, $65,000.(10.
Monies subscribed but not yet
paid, $35,000.00.
Our financing depends, of
course, on additional grants from
the Province of Ontario,
Dominion of Canada,
County of Huron amounting to
over $99,000.00 in all,
Early in* the campaign wre in
structed an architect, Mr. Charles
Dolphin, who has had consider
able experience in building low-
cost Red Cross Hospitals, to
draw plans for the hospital and
to assist us in choosing a site
which would be suitable.
We should point out that in
order to erect a hospital and to
obtain the grants, without w’hich
we cannot build a hospital or
maintain it, it is necessary to
have all plans approved by the
Department of Health. The regu
lations in force are rather rigid
and involve a great deal more
expense than the layman can
understand and our architect
spent a great deal of time writh
the Department in an attempt to
get approval of the elimination |
of costly items in the construc
tion. In this attempt he was only
{partially successful. We had
planned that we could build our
hospital for approximately $225,-
000.00. However, our plans were not finally approved until the i
late fall of 1950. Your commit-1
tee had decided, with the advice !
of the architect, on building the further _______ ________
hospital in Riverview Park. This have obtained will be given,

dition we had an inspection of »
it by our architect and by a;
contractor. Our hope was that
this building on this property
might be converted into a hos

constructed. Unfortunately, the
advice ot both the architect and
the contractor was that rhe cost
of conversion plus the cost of
the property would be as much
or more than obtaining the same
space by original construction
and in the end we would have
an old, rather than a new build

We then decided to call for
tenders for construction accord

ing that these could be adjusted
to a new site if the price of con
struction w’ere reasonable.
