It was strongly urged that the. County Council seek the approval of debentures for the borrowing of the necessary funds. It was sug•- gested that the debentures be ac- tually sold only as the moneys were required. In this way the hespie tees, which are all overcrowded, could proceed with plans to meet the needs of their communities.

On Friday evening several mem- bers of hospital board expressed their grave 'concern about the fu- ture of hospital service here, since neither the Ontario authorities nor the county will accept responsibille ty for any major share of the fin- ancing of new construction.
