The need for a new wing at
the Wingham General hospital
and the proposed plan of financ
ing the project were matters ex
plained to municipal' representa
tives in this area at a meeting
held in Lucknow on Friday even
ing. 1
This meeting was presided over
by Harold Gaunt, Reeve of West
Wawanosh, as a representative of
the hospital campaign publicity
committee. The reeve, councillors
and officials of the municipali
ties of Ashfield, Kinloss,. West
Wawanosh, Huron, Colborne and
Lucknow Were invited to the
meeting. Cdlborne and . Huron
were not represented. . \
It is proposed to finance the
wing by taxation purposes pn a
pro-rata basis according to the
percenta$ei of patients hospital
ized from each municipality serv
ed by Wingham hospital over : a
period of five yearsy:
Purpose of Friday night’s, meet
ing Was to acquaint municipal
officials with the plan, so that,
they could deal/with the matter
at their August meeting. Speedy
action is. essential, it was pointed
out, if advantage is to be. taken
of Federal grants which are pre
sently (available /to supplement
provincial aid/It was stated that
^nextyearEederal-aidwillbe
diverted from hospitals to an
other field of medicine.
' Mayor DeWitt Miller of Wing
ham and Mrs. Iris-Morrey, super
intendent of Wingham Hospital,
/■iwfer'e" present ftt Friday’s riieeting
and explained blue prints of the
proposde wing, as well as -em
phasizing the fact that the Pro-
; bineial Department of Health has
warned that “control of the ad
mission of. patients” is approach
ing if steps are not taken To
relieve the overcrowding.
, The new wing would be built
to” the north ’of the present hos:
pital and would be modern in
every respect. It would add some
fifty beds to the capacity of the
L hospital, now frequently “ac-
h comodating” almost double its
[/ rated capacity of 48 patients. The
J wing will be a’ one storey addi-
| tion, and Js^known—as—a-chronir
patients wing? although Mrs.
Money hastened to explain that
f ■ toik OTl/a" chronic‘ prtient":/'in8 some o£ ^eir lost furnishings:
one requiring hospitalization for
more than thfee Weeks. Grants
are higher for such a wing.
Tojal cost of the wing is es
timated at $550,000. Of this the
‘Hospital Board is assuming about
. $100,000 to cover the cost of the i
b . boiler and laundry; room. Provin-
L “ial grants of $2,000 a bed and
1/ a Federal grant of $1,500 dre
I available if the work is com-
l merited this year. This leaves an
K estimated balance, of about
I $200,000 for the various muni-
I cipalities to raise,
I It is suggested that this be fin-
I anced by ^ debenture issue of 10~
1A or 20 years in each municipality
