Cory of She Hospital Association, called the meeting to order, mAde brief remarks as to the report of the ateeting and then turned the meeting over tb Secreta'ry B. G. Thatcher to' carry' on. Mr. Thatcher gave a brief or summary of the history of the old land present hospital; lJ4ewise, as to the hospital drive for raising funds to build a new ; ,`hospital. He stated the approximate cost for a forty bed hospital was $450,000.009 and that on a project of this amount the government would contribute $1499000,00; further hospital association had received to date from the hospital drive $1050000.00; therefore, a -remaining I' sum of up to $200,000.00 would he needed, and_ to hospital association together wjth the Board' of County Commissioners should try to determine ways and me no of financing the balance. Mr. Charles, A. Mitchell, .attorney for theboard stAted in- his opinion- there were two ways to obtain revenue for this purposes 1. Through a bots Issue and vote of the people; 2. To issue Revenue Certificates. He stated that he doubted if thellocome from the hospital I G,� E 1 D 0 1 1 • 1 i 0 operation could be shown to be sufficien,to support revenue certificates and that he believed it would be most advisable to let the people determine the matter at an election and to issue bonds if they approved. He stated that in his opinion a maximum tag levy of 1i mills per year,,, _and. probably -less, would service the bonds. There was considerable discussion as to both 1 suggestions; however, no definite action was taken. There was also considerable discussion as to the size of the hospital or number of beds that should be provided for. Some thought fotty beds was in excess of whit was actually needed. After further discussion it appeared that"possibly a thirty or thirty-three bed j hospital would be sufficient' and therefore cost conpiderably less to construct. A committee consisting of Mrs. Garnet Radin and Dr. Robertson 3epresenting the i hospital association together with E. E. Carter re0rosenting the Board of County Commissioners il were appointed, and instructed to investigate and make a survey of the ways and means in which F N hospitals similar to the one contemplated on had been or were being constructed at Live Oak and other -places in Florida where governmental aid had or had not been supplied. Mr. Choles A. Mitchell, Attorney for the Board was requested to write Senator Pepper seeklaS each information as might be available with regard to the ways and means of constructing hospitals in Florida.
