Kin- kead of Goderich as spokesman, Outlined the problems facing the hospitals. The representatives have held a series of meetings in the • past few months, with the county's executive committee, and sought to make a definite arrange- ment on the financing of hospi- tals which would cover the needs of these institutions for the next ten years. The hospital represen- tatives urged that a debenture is- sue be undertaken to raise the ne- cessary building funds as soon as they were required. The county has set aside a fund of $100;000 for hospital purposes, but there is no assurance that the set-aside will be continued in the future. Total requirements for the construction of the hospital addi- tions was estimated at $1,748,000, With federal arid provincial grants estimated at $761,400; the county portion $838.610; and canvasses through local boards, $147,990.
