Bennington Hospital Finances Highlight Testimony At Hearing
The record notes unusually good financial condition at Bennington hospital and the possibility Putnam Hospital could provide free care to destitute persons. Hospital Administrator Robert D. Stout testified on several points. Parker urged dismissal of the petition and sought findings by September 30. Black challenged Parker's request for a directed verdict in chancery court. Chancellor Hill allowed further statements to ensure a full presentation of both sides.
