THE BRUSSELS POST OCTOBER 3, 1979 —
Morris turns down hospital request
BY DEBBIE RANNEY
Isabel Garniss, Morris. Township's
representativ,.: on the VVingharn and District
Hospital board met with members of council
to discuss letters of appeal, council had
received from the Citizens Action committee
and the hospital's board of Governors on a
proposed court action to save hospital beds.
The letter from the Citizen's ACtion
Committee described the methods the
committee had tried in order to save beds at
the hospital.; and said on the advice of a
lawyer they were going to try and fight in
court but would need to raise at least $50,000
to fight the case.
The letter stated that they thought the
most equitable way to raise this money
would be to approach the local governments
using a formula based on an area's
in-patient distribution during a 12 month
period-from April 1, 1978 until March 31,
1979. Morris Township had 256 admissions
to the Wingham Hospital or a percentage of
8.15 to the total admissions adjusted to 8.92
per cent and Morris Township's allocated
cost would be $4,460.
Although the letter said the committee
realized that money might not be available in
the 1979 budget, any money allocated in the
1980 budget would be appreciated for this
cause. A letter from the hospitals Board
of Governors endorsed the appeal of the

Citizien's Action Committee,
Mrs. Garniss told council that the board
had voted on court action'and that eight were
in favor, six were against, one abstained and
the chairman didn't vote. She said that 14
beds in the pediatric unit had been closed as
of Monday.
When asked Reeve Bill Elston whether the
hospital was fairly busy, Mrs. Garniss
replied that they had been running on about
an 80 per cent average capacity up until the
end of August. She said there had never
been a case of turning anybody away and
that they hoped they wouldn't have to.
She said 12 people had been laid off at the
hospital. Layoff criteria were merit and
whether there were two breadwinners in the
family or not. If it came to a choice the ones
who had the most seniority were kept on.
Council then went into
committee-of-the -whole to discuss the
hospital situation and following that made a
motion that they did not support the action
committee and did not endorse their appeal.
Members of East Wawanosh council
attended Monday's meeting to discuss the
agreement on the Belgrave Community
Centre.
After some discussion it was decided to
make a few changes in the agreement. A
grant of $250 will be given by each of the
councils ' and any further financial

They also decided to change a statement
that said 'the agreement could only be
dissolved by having both councils sign
agreeing to do this. Council decidedvto make
the agreement more open.,th say instead that
the agreement would be in effect for two
years to be reviewed in December of 1981.

from Maitland Engineering Services in
Wingham read the report on the Coultes
drain and said a complete reconstruction of a
tile portion of the Coultes drain and the

proposed. The cost estimate was $42,500.
Council made a motion to provisionally adopt
the report on the Coultes drain. Court of
Revision is 'to be held on October 22.
