apart on a wooded hillside in the southeast comer of the tery final resting place of Hospital Box I everyone will agree we desperately need a hospital Why is it that the hard working home owners have to pay for Taxes are too high now for property owners Is there absolutely no other way to get a First let us make an analysis of the actual percentages to be shared in meeting the cost of new hospital through the hospital bond method of raising funds Of the million ed individual taxpayers are being asked to pay less than one-third 31.1 per cent of the total cost spread over a 26 year period Business and in- dustry will bear almost 40 per cent of the cost 39.6 and federal ment almost 30 per cent 29.3 through funds There are two other methods customarily used in ing a new hospital One is the method used previously in starting Gaston Memorial Hospital This of course was done through public subscription and the amount raised was a little over significantly less than what is needed today Fund raising authorities advise that the million required for the purpose of building a new bcd facility is a considerable sum lo raise by public sub- scription The main disadvantage of this method is lhat the required sum of money must be actually and in hand before contracts can be let Obviously this would bear a hardship on many individuals rule others out altogether Another method of raising large sums of money is through revenue bonds In this case the hospital board would borrow necessary sum of money the bonds would then he paid for by the patients who used the hospital through increased rates The cost of the hospital would therefore be borne by a smaller number of persons al a most in- opportune they are sick Yet entire com- munity would be benefiting from the Improved health care offered And since interest rales on such bonds are high cost to the patient is high also In consideration of these problems the board of trustees felt lhat the cost of financing a new hospital shovild be spread over as long a period as possible and shared by as many people in the county as possible as the only fair method K yon have a question concerning Ihc hospital fiend It to
