Hospital Bonds Sale Delayed Amid Court Challenge
Clark County commissioners on the Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital board were advised to hold the sale of general obligation bonds for expansion until after a 9 day appeal period to the US Supreme Court. Attorney George Franklin had challenged the 1977 legislature authorizing voter free bonds, losing in lower and state courts. The brokers urged waiting to avoid possible later invalidation if an appeal is filed.

Wright Angles Construction Financed for Hospital Project
The Wright Angles Construction project advances with 10.4 million in short term financing from a local bank to be repaid when bonds sell. The board approves 83,000 for Del E Webb Construction as the first progress payment for the new hospital, and adopts the first change order to switch from a high to a low pressure boiler system. The hospital laundry, planned for later, is unlikely, and the change saves about 100,000 annually in salaries and maintenance.
