Charity Hospital Funding Battle Hits City County In Houston
Houston voters approve by council move to shift Jefferson Davis Hospital financing to the Harris County Courts. County leaders decry the plan as dumping the burden, warning the city plan could cripple the joint municipal hospital project and force continued county tax support. County Commissioner W Kyle Chapman and Judge Roy Ramsey voice strong opposition while Mayor Lewis Cutter notes statutory constraints and promises a funding fix. The council orders a 3 million dollar city contribution in 1962 budget and outlines gradual cuts in city aid through 1966.
