Following statement was is- sued by the Board of Scott Mem- orial Hospital poncerning the question or it site tor the future hospital The board' of : Scott Memorial Hospital has been concerned fox'. come time, as a result er •inability to provide proper accommodation in the present hospital building for the increasing number of ,pat- ients who are seeking admission. Per more than two years, discus- sions have been going on with the Ontario Hospital Services Commission, the Ontario Depart- ment of health and the board's architects, in- an effort to solve• the problem,* During that period proposals to carry out alterations• to provide additional beds In the existing, building haye. been explored, but on the insistence of the Depart- ment have been abandoned. It was necessary, as well, to abandon a proposal to provide additional ac- commodation by the erection et a new wing and the replacement of the existing building on the •gree- ent site because of site limita- tions. The entire problem„was review- ed on January 21 last, when Dr. John B. .Neilsen; a member of the Ontario Hospital Services Com- mission, met the board. Dr. Neil- son reported to the commission, and in a letter of February, 10, commission stated that: "Review- ing all these-aspeets, the Commis- sion felt that the most suitable anewer to the 'problem was to de- velop an entirely new hospital on a different site.", As part of its study, and in an effort to determine on a long-, range programthe .board, some months ago had;instructed its architects to carry out a eurvey' of available sites in the Seaforth area, including" the site of the present hospital. with a view to. 'determining- suitability for a long-range projeot. It became apparent as a result of the Contmission's letter et Feb- ruary 10 that improved and en- larged hospital accommodatien in Seaforth was to be dependent on a new building to be located on a new site. So that active work of planning.could be proceeded with, the board accordingly has pureh- ased the property owned"by Al- bert Horner, on No. 8 Highway, at the easterly' limits of the town. It was this property whiclihad been recommended by the archi- tects as being the most suitable In the area. Acquisition of a site for a new hospital le but the first'Step and permits plans to be prepared and financing to be studied. It is em- phasized that some years •; inay elapse before it can be expected new facilities will be available. Commencement of construction must depend on necessary "finances being accumulated. To carry the hospital project which is contemplated to a suc- cessful conclusion will renuirethe support of all citizens in. the area which the hospital serves.: The board, in making this announce meet, seeks this'co-operation; and assures the public that theprob lem of providing adequate "hos.pl tal accommodation is being given very active consideration:' Mr. Horner. plans td vacate the property by October 1st. • This 'farm was formerly known as: the George Lowery farm.

A' lot of work had- been done during the sum• mer. allr: Campbell said question was whether to split the line at Win= throp•or put In a cable going north, and whether the cable should be overhead or under- ground. The cable would carry 18 lines. Mr, • Eckert said we can't sell our debentures. this year, will have to wait until next year. The drain at Winthrop might be moved to the north side of the side road, also there was talk of rebuilding the North road in' a few years. These .things- would have to: be considered. If the cable were underground it would have to go under the drain in black pipe._. 1h'. Eckert said there was no doubt' we had had good service this year from .the underground cable running from. Seaforth to Winthrop, Without It there would have been no service since Jan_ nary.

The -meeting urged that under- 'ground'oable should be installed, It was suggested if splitting the phone lines were left over to next year and the work on the cable clone in the fall, the money would b8 'availabl'e.
