A D. u SUTHERLAND, tt 1 SEAFORTH HOSPITAL QUESTION. (Continued^ -from Page 1.) Hospital as requested in our letter ter o£ June 22nd, as we cannot possibly make them an offer without 'an hiventory, "We would also instruct the Secre- tary to have a personal interview with 'the chairman of the Seaforth M. S3. Board in ,order to •fully explain our position regarding the hospital situa- tion." On August 9, 1927, our board held another meeting, at which the fol- lowing letter which was attached to the inventory was received by our. board: „ Seaforth Memorial :Hospital, July 23, 1927, ,Dr.R..R. 'Ross, Sec„ Scott Memorial 'Hospital (Board, Dear Sir,-I'.am instructed to .'hand you herewith an, inventory of. contents of the Seaforth_ M. hospi- lid, -which, as you will see,:includes the heating- system 1 am also asked to convey' the apologies of our board for their' neglect to present this inventory be the date requested by you, in your earlier letter, and to •assure you that no discourtesy was intended. Sin- cerely yours, 'R, lel. ;Jones, Sec: Treas. After receiving this letter and the inventory, our board had planned to check these articles over and to then make an offer in an effort to bring about a settlemnent. However, before that was done the Hospital Inspector carne to Seaforth and presented ' us with a letter, the contents of which completely upset our pians regarding our idea of arriving at: a settlement, (There were other things 'happened, also to which we do not want to. refer.) ti After receiving this letter we im- mediately stopped negotiations un- til our status and our position w'o'uld be clearly defined. At the meeting held when Hon. Mr. Goldie was pres- ent we discussed the contents of the letter that was delivered to us by the Inspector, 'and FIon. Mr. Goldie re- pudiated the whole thing and de- clared that he would have never sign- ed said 'letter. After that meeting we felt free to again proceed with our negotiations, and we sent our inventory away to have it checked over. After it was returned we held a meeting on Febru- ary 25th, •at which the following Ino - tion was passed: "That this board offer the !Seaforth Memorial Hospital board $2,000.00 for their equipment as per inventory submitted, heating plant not includ- ed; 132,500.00 for their goodwill and that we make this offer without pre- judice. If this offer is not accepted within t'wo weeks of 'this date (Feb. 25), it is withdrawn, as this is our final0 ffer in an earnest effort to up cleat the Hospital ' situation in i Seaforth, 'This offer is made on condition that the ,Seaforth Memorial HFIospital Board continue to op "ate their hos- pital until the new hospital is ready for operation, when the equipment us per inventory will then be "delivered and the sums stated above paid over." Carried unanimously, On March 7th we received a letter from the Secretary of the Seaford' M. d3, Board and our board (net on March 9, 4928, to consider same. The following is the letter: Dr. R. R. Ross, Sec,, Scott M. H. Board. Dear Sir- ant instructed bythe board of the Seaforth Memorial Hospital that the following .notion was passed by the directors meet ing held on March 6, 1928: "That the offer made by 'the Scott M, H. (Board 'aggregating $4„500,00 be re- fused es we consider the figure in- adequate as compared with ,the capital investment: in the Seaforth M. Hospital. "That this board offer to transfer to the Scot M. Hospital our equip- ment aiid goodwill for the sum of $8,00000 and grant to that board the use of the present hosjtital until such times as the Scott M. Hospi- tal is ready for operation, provided that the time does not exceed one year," Respectfully submitted, iR M. Jones, Sec, Treas. • In reply to this 'letter and also this offer the following resolution was passed at our 'meeting en March 91111' :Chat this board most em heti:all refuse to entertain the offer'subnnittecl by the.Seaforth M, FInspital Board to s d th Aa 4,000,00fortheir good will, withdraw the offer to- nay $4,500,00 ,therefor and that the.
