Of County Increased
Grants in the future to hos-
pitals in Huron County for build-
ing projects will be made on
the basis of $2,000 a bed, Huron
County Council decided Thurs-
day.
The decision was made during
the same discussion that ;centred
around a delegation of Huron
„hospital board representatives,
who put in requests for a total
of $838,610 from Huron, to begin
or complete hospital projects in
thee -eounty, D valued at almost
$1,800,000.
Largest request of the day
came from the board of Scott
Memorial Hospital, Seaforth,
where $'750;000 will be required
to erect a new hospital that
would provide about 45 beds.
Of this amount, the county's
share, as requested in' the brief
to council, would leave been
$396,950.
Ask For Mill
The presentation of the hos-
pitals in Hurop, made Thursday
by the spokesman for the boards,
J. H. Kinkead, requested that
Huron council set .aside the
equivalent of one mill, or about
$54,000, for hospital purposes.
The request read: "It is sug-
gested .that .the county- council
meet 'these need's by agreeing
to. a levy of one mill for the
term necessary to raise these
funds. While the boards will
co-operate by delaying thevan-.
jects ..as long as possible, and
by arranging with the council
the order in which the projects
will be undertaken, plans should
be made to make the funds
available within the next few
years."
County Council at an early
session approved the setting
aside of an amount equal to
one mill for hospital financing.
Oppose Debentures.
Many of the councillors ex-
pressed disapproval of the idea
of raising more money with 'de-
bentures.
Said Deputy -Reeve James
Bisset of Go4erich: "I don't like
the idea of a debenture issue
on the county level; we must
pay for some of these services
as we go."
Reeve Harvey Coleman of
Stanley Township suggested that
pressure be pttt on the Govern-
ment to increase grants. (Perth
County Council earlier this year
sent a resolution to both federal
and provincial governments ask-
ing that government grants to
hospitals be re-examined, with
the intention of increasing them
to ,.aid counties suffering from
a heavy -burden of hospital con-
struction.) -
Arthur Knight, representing
Clinton Public Hospital, outlined
the building program planned by
Clinton. For $238,000 the hos-
pital hopes to add 20 additional
rooms, a new kitchen, dining
room, and cafetertg, and a new
heating system. The board .sug-
gested that grants would bring
in about $123,000, the county
•could -pride $97,410, and,
through canvasses, the hospital
could raise about $17.190.
"If we received only $40,000
for the 20 beds," Mr. Knight
said, "T would not want to go
ahead with the building plan.
We don't want to go into debt."

80 Years Old
A. Y. McLean, representing
Scott Memorial Hospital, Sea -
forth, said the building that
serves the community as a hos-
pital is $0 years old. It was
first arranged as a hospital in
1928, and since that time, a 14 -
bed addition has been erected.
Seaforth has received $25,000
from Huron County in grants
over the years...
Because it is necessary to keep
some of the patients in corridors
owing to crowded conditions,
and because any alterations to
the building would meet opposi-
tion from the Ontario Hospital
Services Commission,, the hos-
pital has found it necessary to
build an entirely new 'hospital.
Ray Cousens, representing
Wingham General Hospital, said
the hospital's occupancy average
for many weeks ,has been 132
patients in the 98 -bed hospital.
"We desperately need help,"
he said.
Total costs of hospital build-
ing, as presented to council, are:
Clinton, $238,000; Exeter, $160,-
000; Goderich, .$250,000; Sea -
forth, $750,000; W i n g h a m,
$350,000.
Grants given to date by coun-
cil are: Scott Memorial, Seaforth,
$25,000; Wingham General,
$60,000; South Huron, Exeter,
$35,000; Clinton Public Hospital,
$35,000; Alexandra Mar'
Goderich, $70,000.
The $2,000a -bed decision made
Thersday by council also carries
the stipulation that hospitals
must notify the county one year.
in advance of requirements in
order that funds may be set
aside:
